Wow! Even after playing a souzy for 38 years, I still have so much to learn! BUT...I don't have a 20K! How do I get my fingers to fit properly and not move vertically, destroying the lateral stability, on conventional valves?bloke wrote:As you can see, he is also using the "Over-Under" fingering strategy (discussed at length by Jean-Baptiste Arban in his [lost] SECOND treatise) to help (simply) PREVENT occurrences of those pesky Gb's.

Re: All-Weather Mouthpiece
I don't know about the DEG 25. I have an Astro Nylon. It feels and plays for me like somewhere between a Bach 18 and 12 ... Maybe a Bach 15 (if they made one). I believe the shank is aluminum (or alumnium if you say nucyooler). I like it mo better than the Kelly 18.

Re: All-Weather Mouthpiece
My DEG Astro Nylon cup has an aluminum shank. It is many years old and I only used it for a few outdoor gigs in really cold weather. No problem with leakage probably due to minimal use. Of late I have used a plastic mouthpiece made by a local plastics manufacturer. It is sort of Helleburg copy.
