Geyer or Kruspe wrap makes no difference. Something with a medium cup and depth, a modestly curved rim with a slight inner edge, with a bore of 8, 10, or 12 will do just fine. In other words, something middle of the road. I think that you will find that the majority of players are much closer to th

My advise to anyone would be, have a custom piece made just for you, there are loads of good mouthpiece makers all over the world who can help you with that. It's better to pay something extra just one time, and then be consistent in your equipment.. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Valerie

2007-11-16 Thread Tim Van Gijsegem
Hans, that's a very good point you make! When you want to drill out a mouthpiece, make sure that the bore is still in a good balance with the depth of the cup, when the throat is drilled out, the throat entrance also has to be adjusted to be in proportion again, and even in some cases the backbo

If you play a Geyer wrap horn, what mouthpiece do you like? Why? Valerie___ I like to use the same one I use with my Kruspe-wrap horn, my Schmidt-wrap horn, and my compensating double horn. Why? Because it works for me. _

Valerie, Once again, it's not the wrap. What's important in determining an appropriate mouthpiece is the balance of tapers, cylindrical bore and bell size & shape all in combination with the player's unique physical characteristics and tonal ideals. Steven Ovitsky If you play a Geyer wrap horn

Thank you and Lawrence for your replies. My son is 15 years old and couldn't be less interested in the details of mouthpiece bores if he tried to be. In fact, we had a funny conversation the other day; he considers me a "horn geek" because I have made it my business to learn about French Horns. E

That's certainly more than a little bit possible, but it can also have a positive effect. I don't know any trumpet players who haven't had theirs drilled out a bit, and many horn players too. It can be worth the experiement if you don't like the mouthpiece anyway. Better, of course to hav
