Mouthpiece Upgrades
We’ve had quite a bit of discussion about upgrading mouthpieces in band classes lately. If you are studying with a private teacher, please ask them for advice on mouthpieces before upgrading. If not, here are the standard mouthpiece upgrades.
Clarinet - Vandoren 5RV Lyre
Clarinet - Vandoren M13
Alto Saxophone - Vandoren AL3
Alto Saxophone Jazz - Meyer 6M
Tenor Saxophone - Vandoren TL3
Tenor Saxophone Jazz - Meyer 6M
Trumpet - Bach 3C
French Horn - Holton Farkas MC
Trombone - Bach 6 1/2 AL
Tuba - Conn Helleberg
All of these mouthpiece are available through Treble Clef, Quinlan and Fabish, Woodwind and Brasswind, or Amazon.com. The advantage of trying mouthpieces at a local store is you can try a number of sizes and see what works best for you! Make a great end of the year gift!!
