Mouthpiece Work / found a "zone" ???
FROM: spr1ng64 (Patrick)
SUBJECT: found a "zone" ???
I have been hacking away at a Bundy II and an old Selmer - tenor pieces... I got the Bundy to a nice 48/.95 and she plays like a dream on 2.5 ricos. But doesn't play so well on 2's. I noticed the same behavior out of my Morgans (6 and 7) - the 6 matches well with 2.5's the 7 with 2's. This must be "my zone" as far as my optimum opening for best sound... It may be hard for me to test MP's that have a greater tip opening or smaller tip if this is the case, because they just wouldn't sound as good as with a gap related to the .095/rico 2.5 category... Now I have been playing for many years and follow the loose embrouchure crowd and I am able to adjust quite readily, but seem to have stumbled on a possible weakness. Will this affect my ability to alter MP's for a given player??? Patrick
