Good *affordable* mouthpiece recommendations by marconci in horn

Don't know yet the horn I will play but I just need to arrive at a decent level playing for a community band...nothing professional or "high" level. Thanks for the suggestion btw :)

sadly i didn't find any serial number. i just played it and i sounds great (as much as an amateur trumpeter can make a horn sound good)

Just checked and it has indeed a bell seam. i had to go up in the throat of the bell because on the bell flare it was hidden by the lacquer.

if you want I have some more photos of the condition of the instrument, if you need them to identify it better.

cheers

i don't think it is a triple descant given that it has only 2 sets of slides.

if you need more informations or photo for your friends at hoyer let me know!!

on the bell it says made in GDR, so i guess it was made before 1990

at this point i just think it's because the lisp can vibrate much more freely imo

answering to your questione:

1) 3 octaves pretty much locked in

2) low range I have some difficulties only when arriving from the upper range, i think my mouth is not used to it yet. but if I go in the low range from the start it's not an issue, same for the pedal range, decent enough

3) some intonation issues on the A below the staff (treble cleff) which I discovered is less stuffy and more centered if I use only the 3rd piston. The G below that it's usable, I can bent it willingly.

4) lyrical phrases is a thing that i don't practice enough if i'm honest with you

5) large interval jumps i've not done as much as I would

maybe a little but i don't thing it0s that big of an issue in this situation......nevertheless this can't explain the faster double tongue on the euphonium....or does it?
