WTT - Bach 5GL for large beater/backup mouthpiece
Posted: Sat Sep 30, 2017 10:57 pm
I really like having backup mouthpieces in all of my cases and I think its about time to try to trade for sizes Im more used to.
Up for your consideration is a 5GL with some scuffs and a couple dings on the outside edge of the rim. I couldnt feel it. Ill post pictures tomorrow. I actually happen to like the sound of this mouthpiece. It can get strident and lively but still sounds like an appropriately behaved tenor when not hard on the gas. The 5 rim is just too small for me to deal with for more than a sitting in an emergency.
All I want is a 3 or 2 sized large shank mouthpiece of any make. Just needs to have a good rim and the shank needs to be true and round. Chances are itll sit in my large tenor case for years! But I still dont play large tenor very much so forgetting to switch my DE rim to my large set up is very possible!
Or if you have a larger-than-a-1-1/2G bass mouthpiece knocking around in a case of a drawer I wouldnt mind keeping a backup in my other bass case. Again Im not picky; a 1-1/2G would be fine but I already have two that I very much like matched with other set ups ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
