FPonzo Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Hey you mean thanks ADAM also!!! That is my mouthpiece!!! HAHWhat up PPPPPPOnzo! Well actually Adam.....I have been playing the 6a4a since even before you joined the corps in 92. You just gave me a gold plated rim, wth really feels good on my lips. Which reminds me....I have to get it re-dipped!!! Anyway........THANKS ADAM!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Drum Corps Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Adam is a really nice guy, huh Frank??? I think so anyway. You oldtimer Cab guys taught those young guns to respect the opposing talent. I mean that...Adam has always been one of the most respectful young soloists around. You, Chris, Deamer, the Barfer and Fossil should be proud. Donny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willard Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. That's EXACTLY the thought I had when I read the title of this thread!!! So... with that in mind, what are we to do with Camel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenegadeMan Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I've played two over the last 18 years, one has been a Schilke 14c2, and the other has been a CG Personal. But I've been playing a Schilke 10b4, but I am considering others at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHall Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Back in the day, I used to think that it was the mouthpiece that provided "range." I have used Jettones. I have experimented with the Parduba 5 Star Double-Cup. I was stuck on Shilke's for years. Nothing smaller than a "bored out" 14A4A. I would try any mouthpiece if it would help improve my range. I have found "range cheaters." They do nothing but pinch my tone. Then it came to pass in which I realized that: "It Ain't the Mouthpiece!" Getting to the advanced level of Trumpet/Soprano playing is similar to lifting weights. You want bigger muscles, then, you will get on a regular routine to be able to feel proud to take your shirt off. You want range, endurance, and tone improvement? It would behoove you to work on "exercises" that will put you where you want to be. That means practicing stuff that don't sound so pretty all the time. I have always said: "If you want to play high, then, you must play high." Eventually, the high notes come out easier and prettier. Range needs to be part of your regular routine. How disciplined are you? We all want to sound like Joey Pero when he's playing above Double G. I would bet that he would have the same range on a Bach 7C. My opinion is that it's all about "The Chops." (hope I get some one day.) Holy cow!!! Is this Nick Filia talking???? What did you do to yourself? Tommy Davenport slap you around? Very nice or did you learn that all from me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHall Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I thought they were really called "Mucky Rude" Mouthpieces? :P Truth be told....I never played one in my life. Monette B3 still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
