New Mouthpeice! Schmid 11
2:37 PM

LOL now I realise I have this habit of posting all events late. Didn't wanna post about buying mouthpiece at first but since Chinese full paper is so boring I should find something more 'constructive' to do right?(such as updating my blog)

On Friday(and today is sunday btw), after one whole morning of e learning I went to Windworks to buy mouthpiece. Quite a nice place cos it allows us to try a variety of mouthpieces before we choose the one that suits us best.

Trying mouthpieces was really fun and that Mr Yap was kinda weird(according to Mr Leng, all horn players are weird) so I found him really funny. In the end I chose my Schmid 11 and I can finally kiss my denis wick 5N goodbye!(evil laugh~) On Saturday I tried buzzing my new mouthpiece with a tuner and pitching high F. It feels harder but the sound is deeper and warmer(I can even feel the difference just by buzzing my schmid 11 and denis wick 5N) It's not really hard to pitch it on my new mouthpiece but I believe there will be more resistance when i try it on my horn.

Now enjoy the photos:

My new mouthpiece, no longer golden, but sounds better
Mouthpieces bought by the four of us

Lionel 'smoking' his mouthpiece and looking gay

p.s I just realise the horn I am using, a Jupiter horn, is actually a Taiwan brand.(which is made in Taiwan) When I was trying the mouthpieces, I saw a random Jupiter instrument logo, with lots of national flags below and the first one is actually the flag of Taiwan. It's really uncommon(the common flags that appear are usually USA, England, Germany or Japan) so I did some research at home and found out this shocking news... Why shocking? Because if you find a singapore brand that manufactures good quality and world famous musical instruments, you'll be shocked too.
Jupiter horns are actually quite despised by my section(*ahem*) and even by myself before the horn tutor said it sounded better than the Holton horns. Now I am proud of it, Jupiter horns are nice!(but still, I would prefer a alexander of course XD)
lol what a long post script...
