PLEASE NOTE: ALL MOUTHPIECES ARE EURO/MEDIUM SHANK THAT FIT WILLSON 2900 AND SOME BESSONS ETC. THEY ARE NOT LARGE SHANK (I.E., BASS TROMBONE0 OR SMALL SHANK (I.E., TENOR TROMBONE)

Couple of thoughts about this study:

1. Nothing explicitly stating whether or not there is any association between study and company that makes UltraBreathe.
2. Did not appear to compare training...

Hi Micah,

I generally think the use of the Ultrabreathe is a bad idea. The Ultrabreathe is used to help restore normal breathing function by strengthening weak a diaphragm. The question is, how...

I have been trying out the MB Solo model for about 2 weeks. i normally use a 51D or a Parker 51D Lance LaDuke model. Unfortunatley, I find the MB Solo's rim to be very uncomfortable. Tone wise, I...

Band — The Seventh Night of July by Itaru Sakai. It has a short muted section. Not worth the effort!

Mike

Wish there weer more brass bands in D.C. area. I would love to try one. There are two professional level groups that I know of, but the only community type brass band are much too far.

Mike

Have you contacted him directly?

Willson 2900. Brian Bowman got it for me about 40 years ago. I've tried a few other brands, but they never matched the 2900 sound. The 2900 is built like tank. The only issue in nearly 40 years was a...

It's ok to admit that you really do want to soar over the band at all times.

Mike

Actually, I was looking for an approximate comparison of depth with other mouthpieces. For example, since the MB51 is based on 51D, is the depth about the same so that MB51 solo is more about a Wick...

What do the two different depths correspond to?

Mike

Thanks for the response Brandon.

Hi Brandon,

This is going to come off "snarky", but … Over the last few years you have put out three different signature mouthpieces — two with Warburton (one of which was a 51D size) and one...

What about a 51D? It is similar to the BB1, but its rim isn't as sharp. Also, Parker makes a 51D version.

Mike

We are Playing "The Seventh Night of July" by Sakai. It has a measure with an an E natural, E sharp, and F. I keep wanting to play that F as an F sharp!

Hi Dave,

When I try to add downloadable version to the cart, my virus protection finds URL:MAL virus.

Mike

What size shank? I have a medium.

Mike

Having been raised catholic, I can say that the Church is cheap. In high school, I played quite a few times with a group in various Protestant churches. They always paid $25-50 per player. The few...

This made me think about a time I was ask to play in a small brass group for a church service. We had a brief rehearsal before the service and everything was fine. What they neglected to tell us was...

Mouthpiece placement depends on the person. If someone is telling you that is should be 50/50, they my be very wrong. My placement is about 70/30 on the upper lip. You may consider contacting Doug...

"As I was considering going to the E3, and then later as I was considering going with heavier brass instead of the sterling bell, I did A/B comparison videos. Perhaps they will help you see some of...

FYI. The Giddings Brandon Jones and the Warburton are completely different designs.

Mike

You are correct. The BB1 is based on the 51D. Dave Houser designed the cup with feedback from Brian Bowman. Dave said the cup has a strange, but it was the one that Bowman liked the best.

Mike

Keep in mind that the 52D has less depth than the 51D. The 52E2 is slightly deeper than the 51D, but the rim is thinner and more rounded; and for me much less comfortable than the 51D. You may want...

Adding to Dave's and Barry's responses, pay extra close attention to the groove in the valve casing in which the valve guide moves. It is easy to get some gunk in the groove. Also, try cleaning out...
