35. I am an expert in mouthpieces, that's why I don't want to deceive you.

 

• Greetings MetalHeads

There is a question that they ask me every day.

'With variations, but all, have the same ending.'

The first part of the question can be type

I find it difficult to register low or high notes.

I have the staccatto slow and I work on it every day.

The sound is very bright or dark.

I play with this instrument

Questions of this type

And in the end, the second part of the question that is repeated in all cases.

Toni, which mouthpiece do you recommend?

 

And my answer to this great question is always the same,

I have no idea.

'And now I'm sure you're going to ask me this other question.'

Toni, are you an expert? If you can't even recommend a mouthpiece??

 

Well yes, I am an expert in mouthpieces, that's why I don't want to deceive you.

 

• "If someone advises you on a mouthpiece without knowing how you play, they are simply deceiving you or do not understand how a mouthpiece works. I apologize, but I have to be this clear in this response."

 

One of the reasons I can't advise you, if I don't know how you play, is that the mouthpiece regulates the air you blow in relation to the resistance the instrument offers.

 

But, there are many more variants that we have to look for just before where the mouthpiece is located and is it?… the musician, yes, you, the one playing the instrument.

 

We are all different.

"The lip, the teeth, the shape of the palate, how you exhale or inhale the air... I don't know... the throat if you close it too much and it doesn't let you exhale the air properly."

'Your talent as a musician, an endless number of characteristics that make us all different,'

"Are you understanding why I can't recommend a mouthpiece to you?"

"That's why if you want your best mouthpiece, I think the easiest and most economical way is to go to a specialist to advise you and adapt the mouthpiece to your playing style."

 

On my website, you will find all the options to customize your mouthpiece, in the CUSTOM mouthpieces section, but if you are not sure, the best thing is to come to my workshop and together, we will analyze all these aspects we have seen before and manufacture the mouthpiece adapted to your instrument and playing style.

 

I am Toni Romera and I hope to see you very soon and also read your comments.

Greetings and lots of music.
