spitvalve Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 (edited) Okay. I have a big problem with instructors that dictate an entire line use a certain mouthpiece. Mr. Schilke and Mr. Bach would... well... they would be unhappy. blah blah blah... differences in mouth cavity, blah blah, tongue size, teeth, lip structure, blahbity..blah..blah... 1. What mouthpiece do you use/on what horn? 2. Why do you play it (choice or dictated?) I figured this might actually be a productive thread.

BOSMarcher Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Are Mello 6 mouthpeices more like a trumpet or French horn mouthpeice? Do they have a pretty wide rim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spongehead56 Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Schlike Helleberg A Helleberg required, but I guess it can be any kind. Personally, I like the Schlike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I'm a baritone player and I use the following mouthpiece: Schilke 51D Why? Because it produces the best deep tone/sound and it has a deep cup. Lots of professionals use it, its recommended by most drum corps staff, and most college professors recommend it too. At Cascades we do not require a specific mouthpiece, because we know that some students private teachers have certain things that they want their students to use. But the norm here is either the Vincent Bach 6.5AL or the Schilke 51D, both have the deep cup so I guess either or will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheezedogg 23 Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I play on a Warburton 2D or 2MC both with a wideopen 12 bore on it, for most of my playing on my Kanstul soprano back in the day. I've added Bob Reeves i forget what model, it was my professors, i added it for lead playing in jazz band on trumpet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie@Spirt Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Bach 1 1/2G on Euphonium. It wasn't "required", but it was highly recommended and everybody just happened to take the recommendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
