On a whim

One day during horn quartet rehearsal, I decided to try playing the other mouthpiece I kept in my case, a Laskey 70G. Usually when I switch mouthpieces, I don’t notice much difference, but this time I did. Even my quartet members noticed a positive difference in my tone. I was worried that a smaller mouthpiece would negatively affect my low range, but this was definitely not the case. I’ve been playing on it since. :)

What’s funny is that I picked out that Laskey on a whim. I wanted to try one, so I pulled up a mouthpiece comparison chart and picked out something that seemed comparable to mouthpieces I’ve liked in the past.

I didn’t have the same experience with this model when I tried it right after getting it. It’s neat to go back to something that maybe didn’t work as you’d hoped and then have a completely different experience with it.
