The video explaining how to chose the correct inner diameter for brass mouthpieces is illuminating and very well presented. I would especially recommend it for younger players but feel many teachers would benefit from the information presented in this brief video.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Wish my teachers 30yrs knew this or explained it better 😬
Phyllis is the real deal folks! I know from my own personal, life changing consultation I did with her last year. A true expert in her field. Thank you Phyllis!
Wish I heard these tips earlier! I’m a horn player with thicker lips and struggled for years on similar mouthpieces as my teachers (many great horn players I observe tend to have thin lips). Moving to larger diameters has made a huge difference!
Dear Phyllis you are The best
I've been a loyal Stork mpc user for years. This is a very informative video and well presented.
Thank you so much for playing Stork! I'm so glad you liked the video :)
Thank you Ms. Stork!
Good stuff! A good rule of thumb I learned from one of my teachers was to play as low a pedal note as comfortable. Then, choose the smallest diameter that allows you to do this while keeping the inner rim on the skin (out of the red) of both lips.
Excellent commentary, thanks for posting.
Very insightful!
Glad you think so! Thank you.
This video seems to fit trumpet players. For trombone we can double on tenor or bass with the same lips but much larger inner diameter on the bass. Very little air pressure develops inside the cup and the mouthpiece should fit the type of music and acoustic properties of the instrument, also to blend with the section.
Excellent 👏🏾
Hello,
I am trying figure out the type of mouthpiece to use for tuba. I have an average lips, currently using Arnold Jacobs mouthpiece. I am having a hard time to play in higher range on my Bb tuba. Notes F, G, A and B are extremely difficult in second octaves. Lower range, I am satisfied with. What type and size of mouthpiece would you recommend for me to use? Thank you
Very good video. Made things very clear!!
Please increase volume on next video.
Thank you and yeah sorry about that. Many of these videos are already in the can, but I think by at least the third in the series we upgraded the mic.
@@mpcsrus I have been using a BT1 for the last year and I love the sound, with no loss of upper register!
@@j.c.197 Holy cow! That is impressive!
Great mouthpieces!
Thank you!
I'm a horn player and I've been using a C8 mouth piece but I'm beginning to think I might need to take a look for a new mouth piece since It seems like I have fleshy lips. I've been doing pretty ok with it but I do find I've been having embrocher issues.
Hi Kate. Yes, it would seem that this video might have been meant for you. Chances are that you set up into the inner red of your lips which causes all kinds of problems. Please don't hesitate to give us a call. We'd be happy to talk things over with you! You can find our contact info at the web site here: storkcustom.com/contact-us/
Next episode will talk about HOW to resolve these problems for players. I was awestruck to learn after 30yrs of incorrect mouthpiece sizes. There is hope yet to correct.
It also depends of teeth dimension
Can you show what pulls and ticks look like on a future video
Wish your audio was louder
I'm sorry you had an issue. I will look into it!
