golly g wizz!!! how do yall no all this stuff on mouth pieces & things?¿

Are you kidding? Claude Lakeys are known for their incredible brightness, at least the rubber ones we were playing on. My high school band teacher couldn`t believe the difference in brightness when I switched to my yanagisawa metal mouthpiece. Claude Lakeys are among the brightest sounding mouthpieces out there.

VB couldn`t stop yelling at Joe and I, who both had Claude Lakeys, to not have our tone so bright, we both had to make more of an "O" sound with our embrochure to create a darker tone for concert band. But I don`t have that problem since I switched mouthpieces.

Maybe it was just me then, I got the darkest topne in the world with that moutpiece, now i get a brighter sound with my Yani....go figure, also 6 is a lot darker than your 7, so there is a difference.

A size 6 does have a much darker tone than does a size 7. That is completely true.

well tat answers my ques. im in beginning band at my skool but im pretty good + i play in the band at my church. i love the music, its sooooooooooo much fun. way better than the skools anyway. oh by the way...... with those rubber mouth pieces, can u get a louder sound with it without changing the sound you hav on the metal mouth piece, or does your whole sound change?¿ cause i love the sound i hav on my mouth piece right now. but my band director wants it to b louder. oh by the way......... my name is not JOE!!!!!!!!!

What where you saying about only playing for 4 years,I`ve only been playing for 4 months and I think I`m pretty good,how old are you and what level music do you play, I am 12 and I can play a level 5.
P.S. was it you who sad something about `In The Mood`because I play that in Sinior Jazz Band

Hey guys! Have u ever tried CRYSTAL mouthpieces. They briten your sound at a resonable price! I us a rovner, crystal mouthpiece, and vandoren reeds (3 1/2). Have u tried changing reeds, maybe a harder reed will require more air. Play on that for a while, and get used to it. Then go back to soft reeds. Believe me, you`ll sound great!!!
(Ive had 5 years expiriance)

How much do crystal mouthpieces cost

crystal are a waste of money, i tried soemone`s clarinet crystal mouthpiece, yuck...it`s horrible.

Hey Jessica, wtf are you talking about, only 4 months and your played in a Sinior Jazz Band? Someone is full of s#%*, and it really smells.
