Hi All,
Once again I want to tap all that wonderful knowledge out there.
I have just recently had a few day's blow on an old longshank Selmer metal alto mouthpiece courtesy of AltoAndy. It was wonderfully comfortable and easy to blow, though only a B*, so too closed up for jazz. It was a little weak down the bottom end, though.
I have a Conn 6M, and seem to remember that the longshank mp works better re intonation than the short shank (bigger chamber, perhaps?) but can anyone tell me if this is true?
I currently use a Jody HR 6, which is pretty good, but the Selmer seemed to promise even better in eg a C* tip opening.
Any advice greatfully received,
TonyP
