Hi there,

I am in trouble.
For some time now I settled on Bach 5C equivalents ( rim wise ) for my playing.
Alas, yesterday, while digging some stuff out of a closet, I found this 1 1/4C ( shiny one ) and put it in my horn.
What a sound !!!!
Some gigs are coming next week
Please pray for me not to fall in this trap of thinking the 1 1/4C will do !
I have to stick with the chosen ones - practiced on ones - appraised ones ...

JiCe

PS : might have a bunch of 5's to sell shortly

Just in case keep one of your old pieces in your gigbag...

Regards

Don't use a '15 minute' mouthpiece for a 2 hour session.

Jens's mouthpiece rant he talks about the allure of the big diameter pieces. It's very easy to get seduced but most all mouthpiece changes are a collection of compromises. It takes time to know if there's a net gain. Probably best not to make a last-minute change.
