Title: Angled vs. regular mouthpiece.
Post by: 762 on January 24, 2016, 03:02:28 PM
What are your thoughts on angled mouthpieces? I never really thought there would be a big difference but I ran an angled mouthpiece at Unicoi and it seemed like it helped with the seal I got with my lips.  Do any of you guys notice a difference pro or con.

Use whatever works best for you.

  I have some bones laying around I'm getting ready to whip up. Nothing like the great artwork you see here. However the ones I've made sound pretty good. I've always used a slight angle just my preference. The two I'm going to make will be flush,filed nice with a dremmel I can't wait to play them.

With an angled mouthpiece, it's easier to get a raspier sound....

Buy one of each. That way you can form your own opinion. What works for one doesn't always work for another.

 I've always ran a straight mouth piece. I did build one call with an angle mouth piece for myself and really found no difference in sound. I would say it's a matter of personal preference. The main thing that really turned me off to the angled mouth piece was having to look at the call and find the angle every time I went to use it. That's not something I want to be doing while I'm working a bird.

In my opinion............LOL.........you can reach the same conclusion by moving the trumpet or wing bone bell up or down, which would mover the mouthpiece tip into or away from your bottom lip...my preferred tip is not angled...I think if you can play yours the way it is, then don't try changing what already works for yo as consistency is the key....
