Who cares what others think? Case in point: I use a shallow mouthpiece on flugelhorn. People tell me I'm an idiot. I don't care. I do what works for me. I don't need their approval or agreement. They're insecure and can't tolerate someone who breaks from the herd.

bro i did not expect you to be here mr blitz player

No fucking way another blitz player plays trumpet... LOL

Blitz is dead man they need to do something haha

Idc about the content, the content is great, it’s just the ass kb, and cheaters

@@soyomars mainly trombone actually lol..

wayne’s probably using his GR studio mouthpiece

What is this thesis? Where can it be found?

@@josephhoward8236 Thesis was about the two front teeth and how it affects range. Not sure if his thesis is findable as he died before we all got computers and started using email and the internet. Bob was a dental student but also my trumpet teacher. Thesis goes that basically when one ascends in range the buzzing surface of the top lip starts rising on it's own. When the bottom edge of the top lip gets even with the bottom edge of the top two front teeth that's where you lose your note/sound. Everybody has this,etc. People with a gap between their teeth or a large break in one of the top front teeth have an advantage because they have more lip surface to play on. So even if the lip rises to the bottom edge of the two front teeth, there's an open hole(whether a gap between the teeth or a broken tooth) thus again you have more lip surface to play on than others who don't have this. Look at players like Jon Faddis or Snooky Young, albeit Snookie's front teeth are like in an arch,etc.

@@Dizzyphan it’s settled, I’m ripping both of my front teeth out.

That explains why Bugs Bunny couldn’t play above the staff.

My front left tooth is turned just slightly putting my high point right in the outside edge of that tooth. My mouthpiece just gravitated there and now I know why I play off to the left a bit. Maybe not as useful as a gap in the middle but I get by :)

If air went first through 3rd valve and then 2nd yes it would be. But Air goes to 2 and then 3rd slide. So it's not a waste of middle finger muscles. Correct me if I'm wrong.
