“Your mouthpiece is out of tune” #lotustrumpets #trumpet #mouthpiece

[Baker.Matthew]

This is why I stopped using a mouthpiece all together

[awreckingball]

In addition to mouthpieces, Adam also sells snake oil.

[markoates]

After all my 35 years of brass playing it'a good to see they're still innovating, even of it is in bullshit.

[litbowlofcereal]

This why trombone on top, just move the slide where in-tune feels and sounds good!

[panpolypuff]

The grain of truth being that, for each individual player, certain mouthpiece-horn combinations might better enable their intonation and sound to work together well. Saying that *this one mouthpiece* is perfect for everyone, though? BS.

[jimmybutler]

wow! good salesman. I've got ocean front property in Arizona for sale also. I wonder if he also sells blinker fluid for your car?

[jacobescalante]

I have a 3S high compression lotus mouthpiece and there is a big difference in intonation from my denis wick to the lotus. Its super in tune you can feel it right away its hits each note so well. I wouldn’t say its perfect intonation but i dont have to work for it nearly as much as any other mouthpiece I’ve tried

[episnod]

Adam is spot on. The intonation map for all my horns is better with this geometry.

[seanm.]

And thus the trumpet has a tuning slide to completely negate this

[RobertMartin-xt]

THERE IS NO MOUTHPIECE KNOWN TO MAN THAT WILL "GIVE YOU" PERFECT INTONATION !!!

[Mrmidtown]

ok so which one should I buy? I play a monette b2, sometimes a bach 1 1/2 c when I want to pretend I'm in the CSO and sometimes I whip out a bobby shew leadpiece.. tell me what two or three mouthpieces I need!

[bluemidnight]

brass players got it easy, all they gotta do is buy the horn and a mouthpiece, yet people are still complaining in the comments about buying equipment. If you are a professional or are looking for a reliable and consistent sound, there are going to higher manufacturing costs since these are literal INSTRUMENTS. I get stuff can be expensive as a musician, but as a reed player I would love nothing more than to buy a mouthpiece and be set for a few years.

[jonathanclarke]

So which should an orchestral 1 1:4 1c play go for? Does this also help us pull notes down like the dreaded C trumpet G?

[zStraw]

what is the exercise adam plays after he says 35 cents flat? ive been hearing people do this and im just curious

[Mooderge]

How cab a mothpiece fix inherit tuning issues formed from the Harmonic series? These issues can't just be solved from a different mouthpiece, they are inherently built into any brass instrument. Please tell me if I'm wrong!

[perfectrucksack]

It’s sure you’re right, my bugle mouthpiece is flat - but how do you fix it?

[RowensGotGamesYT]

um… what do if oboist? i have to do that regardless cause that how you tune it

[ROBERTG]

how can I purchase a b flated trumpet from this companyn about piece

[SwIsH]

You’re obviously forcing the note to be flat lol

[RustyKloud]

But then why wouldn’t manufacturers just make mouthpieces that play in tune? Is it to compensate for widespread bad habits that cause people to play way higher than usual?
