Mouthpieces Absolute passaround?

[ProfJames]

But I might hire such an enthusiaatic drummer. I wonder about his previous band...

Hopefully it wasn't gastric!

There must be somewhere in the forum rules, that, unlike temperature, length, music theory, tip openings, UK pint is always intended.

While the mouthpiece box travels to Sunny Cardiff....

When 'testing' mouthpieces, at my level, as mentioned several times previously I always seem to sound pretty much the same - like me...
But I do need to feel comfortable with the piece, therefore this is my main focus (closely followed by intonation which was fine).

The metal tenor & alto, but especially tenor, felt very comfortable immediately.. they compared favorably with my current pieces; the very same ones that I have endlessly trialled & changed to arrive at that choice. To be so at ease immediately is really a credit to the fine finishing and skill Absolutes' display - they play beautifully!

I already own a metal soprano piece which, on the very rare occassions it comes out of the box, I use. It is likely to be joined by the ST Tenor in time (I prefer to buy used, everything comes up sooner or later!).

Having enjoyed playing the bari in quartet, I took it to a jazz workshop, where up against the somewhat enthusiastic rhythm section, found myself
being drowned out somewhat - up until that point it (and maybe still could be) is on my shopping list.

ligatures: Personally I really like the design & function, have no problem with use & feel that they secure the reed perfectly.

Absolute clearly demonstrates excellent attention to detail & finish, coupled with competitive pricing with a genuine interest in what the players' actually think makes a safe, compelling choice.

Big thank you to Absolute (& @aldevis) for making these available to trial!

Does it also apply to everyday consumable household products?
I have some second hand washing-up sponges that might interest you....

 

[c9off]

I'm not proud - at least they'll be unused - how much?

ps: see how your punishment worked ;-)

Hello, there is some development on the pass around?

 

[griff136]

I have the mouthpieces and will be posting my findings shortly.
