Re: Low resistance mouthpiece

Dan Shusta,

NO!!!!

There is no comparison that can be drawn between the German and Boehm mouthpieces. Well at least as far as the "traditional" approach using soft reeds is concerned. German players have begun to experiment with Boehm reeds and much harder set ups that may make them closer, but the basic acoustic/architectural configuration of the German mouthpiece is unique.

Micke,

I can't say that I have had the experience of the need for more air. Everything seems much "easier" by comparison. However I admit not having been schooled in the Germanic approach by any player who knows it........so I may be missing something. I would hasten to add that the sound I get is only slightly moderated in volume when on German mouthpieces.

Oh, and I'd add that with Legere's I finally wound up on strength #3.00......still much less physical than anything Boehm.

..............Paul Aviles
