Hello this is Branden again. I bought a horn for myself a couple of months
ago. My first one. A Yamaha 668N. Not the second model but the original. I
have had more trouble with this horn (probably because its a double) than
the single Holton I played in high school. I have noticed how no matter how
much I practice I still cant seem to improve my high range or low. This
really isn't any different from the single I played. My mouthpiece that came
with the horn says Yamaha 30D4 on it. Could my problem be mouthpiece
related? I was just wondering because when I see a lot of horn players they
appear to have very large or funny looking mouth pieces. Should I try
different mouthpieces to help me in my high range? I have a bit of an under
bite could this also be a problem? I am just really frustrated right now
because I cant seem to get any better. I have just recently started buzzing
with my mouthpiece outside of the home while i'm waiting for the shuttle
bus. I am hoping this will help but i'm not extremely confident. I can not
afford a private teacher at this time (although I have had some lessons from
PORTLAND SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA principle John Boden) so I was wondering also if
there is an unbelievable book out there that can perhaps aid me in my
troubled areas. Thank you so much for reading this long ridiculous question.

P.S. Hans Pizka, I went to your website but for some reason a lot of things
were not working and wouldn't load. Just thought i'd let you know. Thanks
Again.
