Re: [Hornlist] Re: Mouthpiece Scratch
Be sure, it will not be the last scratch. If scratches would affect the tone quality, every brand new mpiece should would be better, but lose its quality due to mini-ware Would you not better think, that the tone quality has more to do with the players embouchure Do not follow the old path of many players, blaming the equipment. It is not the equipment (except it is wrong completely), but it is more the player, who makes the tone. Next time somebody might ask, if a black dress is better suited to produce a darker sound than a greydress ??? No end for curiosity. ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

While taken as an aside, attire does affect playing. Lots of fabric around the bell will dampen the sound. A colleague of mine uses a wrist band to keep his sleeve away from the bell. When I had an actual tails coat, I had cut off the tails to the point that they didn't interfere with my sitting down. The less we have to worry about, the better. As to mouthpieces, I took some closeup pictures of mine, and they were scary. No need to look to the moon for craters or to granite for the glacial polish effect!

Hans, I've seen London and I've seen Munich… When would one practice in their tunic? Peter P.S. How would this attire improve one's sound production?

What I'm wondering is whether or not I should have to worry about how natural fabrics will interact with my synthetic valve oil and vice versa.

[Hornlist] Re: Mouthpiece Scratch
I am sorry to bump this thread, but I am really curious about whether I should get a new mouthpiece or not. I have one last question for a while. Around November, I bought a Schilke 30 mouthpiece and immediately fell in love with it. It had the perfect rim size and depth, and it was not difficult to play. However, in January (I think) I noticed a scratch, about an inch long, inside the cup of the mouthpiece. How badly would this affect the tone? I think the scratch came from someone trying to be nice by brushing out my mouthpiece. -- Tim ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org

You need to show the mpc to someone with some knowledge - in person - and ask them. Internet diagnosis isn't worth much, I'm afraid. No one can, e.g., have any idea of the depth/severity of the scratch you're asking about. There's usually a good reason why a question doesn't get an answer here. -S- I have one last question for a while.

I doubt it very much, although you don't say how deep the scratch is. My mouthpiece has tons of scratches on it, also one or two craters around the rim, not to mention that all the plating is gone except in a couple of grooves.

Re: [Hornlist] Re: Mouthpiece Scratch
CRATERS?? Carlberg, that cracks me up. Reminds me of my original Bach 18 tuba mouthpiece. It had so many craters, scratches, dings, grooves, bumps, lumps, divots, gouges, dents, pits, splits, and cracks that it's a wonder I didn't cut my lips off every time I played it. It just fell out of the instrument almost every day. If you keep dropping it on the tarmac, it's going to get damaged. Of course, it played pretty well, too. Funny about that, isn't it?
