Think about using your hand for small pitch changes it will help your
endurance.

I measured how far the mpc goes into the lead pipe on each because I
noticed
it goes in less far on the Yamaha.
Alex = 24 mm insertion depth
Yamaha = 19 mm insertion depth
What am I to do about this? Which is right, which is wrong, and
what, if
anything, should I do, assuming I wish to continue to use this same
mouthpiece on both horns.
As I've mentioned in the past, I'm an amateur horn player with a long
background as a professional musician and with perfect pitch. I
will lip
anything out of tune back into tune and I rarely notice when I do
this. So
far as I can tell, the difference in insertion depth isn't a
problem, but I
thought I should ask because I'm hoping, as time goes on, I might
actually
learn to play without lipping things and then I might have a
problem. I
suspect that my poor endurance as a horn player is related to the
fact that
I am forever lipping out of tune notes.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
