ContraCutie Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 hmm... I own a Bach Bb student model trumpet Holton Cornet (not sure of model...it's older than I am) Yamaha student model trombone I play: Yamaha Bb 4/rotor valve concert tuba 4 valve silver besson euph I have recently started playing mello I started out on a Yamaha F mellophone.... then was promoted (because it was too heavy for the other chics in my section) to an Olds F mello....it's really bell heavy, but I like the sound, and would probably like it more if I could find a better mouthpiece for it. Right now I'm playing on a 1 1/2c trumpet mpc....so if anyone could help me out...it would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phido06 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 (edited) the UMI mello 6 mouthpiece works pretty well in a Kanstul...i don't know about an Olds but it's worth a shot i suppose... of all the mouthpieces i've tried, it works pretty well for me...

Dave Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Our mellos used a cornet mouthpiece (don't remember what kind) with a converter, since the mouthpiece wouldn't fit properly in the horn by itself. I really liked the sound it produced; I thought it was much richer and darker than it had been with the 6Vs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbw2 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 (edited) We've talked about mouthpieces. How about your horns? Bass Trombone is my first instrument, I play the following: Bass Trombone: Bach 50B3 custom Tenor Trombone: King 3B Euphonium: Yamaha YEP-321 Tuba: Yamaha YEB-621S Eb (silver) Valve Trombone: Blessing Marching Trombone (jazz stuff) (also unofficially, lots of percussion instruments, several synths, a Fender 5-string Jazz Bass, etc.) john p.s. I do love the Yamaha 613H Bass Trombone for more commercial and recording stuff, and may pick one up this year.

Pieplate Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I have a Kanstul Custom Series G Mellphone, a Yamaha 667N French Horn (lacquer taken off), and a Dynasty Mello. Also, I'm trying to pinpoint a general age as to how old my Kanstul is. Heard various things. The only thing tell-tale about it is that is says Kanstul, Fullerton, Ca. on the bell. What time period would that throw it in? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
