Mouthpeice Question.

[corbasse]

Hey, I agree with you Tinker. I love my kellyberg and I play it as my primary mouthpiece on my smaller tuba. I love the sound close up and far away and I personally think that they deserve a lot more respect. Just trying to translate the earlier post.

Well, I was trying to get some clearer comments, or even evidence. Simply stating "there are issues, ...grammatically incomprehensible non-statement" just doesn't suffice for me.
(If I can read Dickens and Stephen Hawking in English, I should be able to understand Tubenet?)

I also like my Kellyberg, I would use it for the feel alone! I feel that any percieved or real issues with sound are my problem, not the mouthpieces.

Tinker, thanks for reminding about the PT-50. I was about to order a new batch for me and several colleagues, but I'll postpone it until the PT-50's are there.

I went online to http:/www.kellymouthpieces.com/ and got a recommendation on what plastic mouthpiece was closest to my Schilke66
and they recommended a plastic 24AW for my Eb tuba.I got it just when they said it would come for $35 U.S..It works fine for me and may be the cure for my allergic reaction to metal mouthpieces (including gold).
Happy boy.

As I have pointed out before, it is no longer standard in the US to back up claims with evidence. As for gramatical incomprehensibility (if it wasn't a word, it is now), it is all too common in debate.

It's probably the settings on your monitor. On mine it looked fine and was perfectly readable.
