There is no mouthpiece, which "is strong in the high register". The player must do it.
Well, admitted, there are some tiny "spucknapf" mouthpieces with a very tight bore. You can get the stratospheres with them, but how about the tone ? It is mere squeaking nothing else. A bore of 5 mms or just below suits very well for high & low & middle, as it has just the necessary resistance. If the hole is bigger the sound gets undistinguished, if the hole is narrower, the sound starts to squeak and the resistance increases. With a certain resistance, e.g. as with my mouthpieces, the entrance in ppp from nowhere is possible. Narrower bore mpieces start to blop or to blair. Visit my mouthpiece page: www.pizka.de/mpiece.htm and/or my pages about my horns www.pizka.de/PizClasHr.htm or www.pizka.de/MySiegfriedHorn.htm Have three of them in stock now. I received the newest few days ago & gave it a test run during "La Boheme" yesterday night, - an opera, where one has to play very delicate -, well, not a surprise, the horn sounds excellent. Mouthpieces are in stock, silver plated or gold plated. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to everybody here on the list. May we get peace for those countries tortured by civil war or other atrocities. ============================================================== -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Karl W.

Currently, I use a Bach 7, which is good for my tone, but I am starting to think of purchasing a new mouthpiece, maybe something strong in the upper register. _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/hans%40pizka.de _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
