Re: Leo M. Bundy Eb Sopranino Mouthpiece

Hey! I tried the chipped Bundy mouthpiece and it plays fine. I doubt if the chip matters. It plays a little more easily than my Fobes mouthpiece does, but the sound is thinner and less appealing. I will say though, that playing this horn is a struggle. I’m not sure whether the horn is deficient, but I certainly am. I haven’t played it for years, and crossing the break requires enormous finesse and confidence, otherwise I get a shriek, nothing, or enter my note with a bleat. I’m glad it doesn’t matter much. I don’t have to play this horn unless I feel like it. The horn in question is a V. Kohlert’s Sons, Graslitz, Eb. I wonder whether any of you have played one of these, and can comment knowledgeably upon the quality of the horn?
