I think it is a proven fact that not all mouthpieces work the same on all horns. I have begrudgingly switched cups and shanks to accommodate a different horn (but always use the same rim). My beloved teacher at Juilliard, Ray DeIntinis used to joke that if he were to be robbed on the streets of NY, he would say "Take everything but my mouthpiece". He never switched horns either, starting out in the NY Philharmonic with a silver Kruspe and moving to his pre-letter 8D. In typical Pandolfi fashion, I LOVE to play different horns, so my paraphrase to Dinny's line would be "Take everything but my rim!"

I assume the reason for playing more than one horn is that they're different, perhaps one smaller bore and one larger, and I'm curious to know how many of you change your mouthpiece, and in what way, to accomodate the difference in the horn. My guess is that most of you stick with the same mouthpiece but, like I said, I'm curious to know if some people don't and what their reasoning might be. Thanks. -S- _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/pandolfi%40deerfield.edu _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
