 |
|
Hello everyone.
I am currently using a GR mouthpiece, model WB Studio. After work, I am happy and acclimatized to it. Now I am looking for a partner for my flugelhorn (Fides Symphony). The problem (in addition to its cost) is the problem of selling in Spain. customs, extra fees and long delay. I don't usually use my flugelhorn very much, only sometimes during shows or recordings, so I don't mind having something similar to a GR wayne bergeron FL, but from another company. Does anyone know something similar? It is very difficult to order a customization, because you do not see many in Spain.
Thanks!

Buy it once. Get the Bergeron. It will always be in the back of your mind. Plus, the WB flugel plays sooo amazingly well

I had thought of the new Louis Dowdeswell Flugel mouthpiece. He sells them in the European Union. I read on the internet that they are mouthpieces very similar to the Bergeron line. That's right? the cup diameter is the same, the contour is still semi flat-wide, the bite is also soft, the only thing I have read differently is the cup volume: 0’1023 (Louis) Vs 0’1029 (Wayne)

Brian nailed it! If you love the GR Bergeron, that rim is so specific to the GR brand, no other mouthpiece maker will be able to duplicate it accurately.

Little by little, I am more comfortable with my GR WB studio. I think I will buy the flugel piece and also the WB studio M piece to play more classic styles. The rim is extremely comfortable, this helps maintain my endurance.
I think the best option is to have a team of WB mouthpieces. I am going to wait for the situation to return to normal, shipments to Spain usually take a long time
