I'm using a 14b4 on trumpet and a 14f4 on flugel. Purportedly roughly the same sized rim with a (much) deeper cup and shorter shank. I've not been able to tell any difference in the *rim size* in just blind testing or use, but the difference blow on the horns might have something to do with it. |
Dpn't try to blow a flugel, the way you would a trumpet. FL must be woo'd, like a woman.
I heart that straight from Chuck Mangione himself, as he was giving a clinic to a HS jazz band. He was great with those kids! But the point is that the approach to the instrument is different. The difficulties you're describing sound a lot like someone not accounting for that. |

Specifically in my case I think cotton mouth is a contributing factor. It seems that the embouchure needs to make minute migratory adjustments as one plays & if the mouthpiece & lips aren't properly lubricated one will have some issues.
Has the equivalent of artificial tears for embouchure been invented yet? |
Per Doc Reinhardt, drink lots of water before and during playing, and lubricate horn and lips before attempting to place the mpc. Very few players actually play better dry. |
