Hello,
I started playing in the band at the beginning of this school in August, and have practiced regularly since then. I use a Yamaha YEP-321 4 valve Euph and use the standard Yamaha 48 mouthpiece that came with it. I was wondering at what point I should look into getting a different mouthpiece, I've had no real issues with the mouthpiece, but then again I wouldn't really be able to tell anyways if I did. At the moment i'm still just working through a lot of the normal stuff that comes with learning a new instrument, but I've become fairly comfortable with it at this point. When would it be reasonable to try out new mouthpieces? I mostly am wanting to increase my higher range, so should i just focus on reaching higher notes with my current mouthpiece or should i try other pieces to see if they could help. Answers are appreciated!
