Hey guys, so I'm considering getting. New mouthpiece for concert band purposes. I want something that's big, will give a big large sound, and has a nice low register.
Also something that won't make articulation a pain in the a**.
Any ideas? I'm thinking a PT50. Or maybe a PT86 or 88?
Also, of prefer its under $100.00 in terms of price. No more then 120.00.
What mouthpiece?

Pay attention to the backbore , as that (IMO) changes the way a mothpiece feels most. Rims are more of a comfort thing. "Medium deep" cups should work well for you. Good luck with your search.

Medium you say? I have been playing on one of my friends PT86. That mouthpiece has a deep backbore and I notice I sound way better on it then on my usual mouthpiece. Bigger is better for me.k001k47 wrote:Pay attention to the backbore , as that (IMO) changes the way a mothpiece feels most. Rims are more of a comfort thing.

Kelly plastic ones keep the cost of experimenting way down, and you get a good spare at the very least. I use the Kellyberg on two horns it works great.

Bach 7 or a Conn helleberg. But really just work with what you have now. I can play at the same dynamic on my helleberg and my lm-12.
