Hi there,
is the new " LOUD 12 M" mouthpiece just a copy of the old LOUD 12 just with different appearence from the outside?
I played one of the older models (Matt Perrine´s one) and I really liked it. So I ordered a new one from LOUD. With the one I got I realize it has an "airy" sound. I didn t notice that when I was trying out Matt´s . Don´t get me wrong , I really do like how the new LOUD I bought feels playing just the " air" in the sound disturbs me a little. thanks

Re: LOUD 12
Is there something else except " long tones" to reduce the air-sound ?How do you guys do it when you use this Mourthpiece? Somebody mentioned it in another threat that you have to learn how to play with this odd mouthpiece?

Re: LOUD 12
I will let the guys who use this model regularly chime in, but my experience with it was that it required a completely different approach to attacks . Restraint was the order as it was extremely easy to over blow-
I struggled to find " my sound " , and it wasnt a learning curve that I cared to push through .
I suspect that the reward in using this particular design was out there , but I chose not to persue... would only consider this with my sousaphone , when outdoors and loud was the order of the day !

I tried the LM-12 once and just didn't like the quality of the sound. I have listened to guys that use it and I have come to think they just want to sound more like a bass trombone than a tuba.

Hi,
I don't know if you're interested but Dave Houser, a sponsor here, (http://www.housermouthpiece.net/)and I believe the original maker of the Loud Mouthpieces is producing them under the name Mouthpiece Ordnance. The mouthpiece in question here is called the Mk-12.

Re: LOUD 12
I had a one piece LM-12 for a while; since it didn't do anything that my PT48 couldn't do I sold it. I'm tending towards thinking it's just marketing and nothing actually different. Since it was technically quite shallow it might have been a good tuba-players-mouthpiece mouthpiece for cimbasso or something. I didn't have my slide contra at the time I owned the mouthpiece.
