 |
|
Hi,
Recently I exhumed my Schilke 14a4a mouthpiece, played a bit with it and was actually surprised by its ease of play (my playing changed a lot for the good since I bought it and briefly used it 7 years ago).
Definitely not what I would call a "high notes mouthpiece" for me (the Marcinkiewicz Shew #1 is a wonder for that), but it's still a cool commercial/lead mouthpiece.
I noticed a long time ago that Schilke made a lead mouthpiece range with Ryan Kisor, the S Series but it's difficult to find information about it online (and I'm not even talking about trying one in Europe...).
Did some of you try it ? How does it compare to a 14a4a (it seems the S4 is the closest) in terms of feel on the face and response ?
Cheers

I have not tried the "S" series, which are a sub-grouping of the Symphony Series mouthpieces aimed at lead playing. I have tried other Symphony series pieces, and didn't really see anything that would make me want to spend so much more for one, when it gives me nothing I don't already get from the excellent standard series mouthpieces I have played for almost half a century.

| Quote: | S Series
Working on custom mouthpieces with American Jazz trumpeter Ryan Kisor, lead trumpet with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, we developed the S Series lead mouthpieces. Utilizing the rim shape of Symphony Series line with the Faddis cup, throat and backbore, we created a new line of high compression lead mouthpieces that provide a very comfortable, balanced mouthpiece with the resistance critical to playing in the extreme upper register with depth and resonance. Ideal for commercial lead trumpet playing. |
I haven't heard anything about them outside the Schilke web site. |

| Jon Faddis' cup is the same cup from the 6A4a, which is a convex shape with a .371" of an inch depth-the same depth as the Bobby Shew 1 just different shape/contour |
