Alto Claude Lakey 4*3 (Mouthpiece Work Yahoo Group)

Hi guys, my name is Ernesto and I live in Argentina...

Could anyone share the measurements of an alto Claude Lakey 4*3 mouthpiece? factory dimensions?

I bought one in Roberto`s winds but does not sound right. Has no spontaneous emission, to make it sound I blow with excessive force. I test with different reeds (Vandoren V16 2 1/2 & 3 - Alexander Superial Classic 2 1/2 - Gonzalez Reeds 2 1/4 & 2 1/2)and ligatures and have a similar result.

I am studying for a year, and my teacher told me it was a good tip to start testing other sounds. Theoretically this mouthpiece should be right for a beginner like me and my teacher said me that is defective, he could not play with this mpc.

Thanks !!!

Ernesto

This html message parsed with html2text ---------------------------Return it and get another.

If your teacher says it is bad, return it and don't try to make it work. A
student needs better equipment than a professional.

Every HR Lakey I have measured is different.  So who knows what they are 
supposed to be?
