Upgrading Mouthpieces
I've been Playing a Meyer Hard Rubber 6M on my Bari forever, but I finally decided that I really need to switch to Metal moutpiece to keep up with the volume and tone of the trombone and trumpet, as well as the electric guitar and drums. I've been looking at facing charts and it seems that I'm looking at upgrading to a more open facing as well (according to most charts the 6M has an opening around .098, and the next step up is in the .100-.105 range in other brands) My only concern is how the new opening will affect my playing. I haven't gone up in tip openings for a while, and i'd like to know what to expect right off the bat, as well as tips and tricks to get manage a more open mouthpiece. Anything someone can add about their own experieicnes would be great. Thanks in advance.
