Getzen Flugalhorn
Morrie: Rex called us up here at Better Sounds, to discuss an idea he had for alterations to his FlugalHorn mouthpiece. Here are his thoughts on the result! (Rex has quite a sense of humour!)
I came up with an idea and sent some mouthpieces to Morrie at Better Sounds to customise a mouthpiece for my Getzen flugalhorn.
After it was sent back to me and had been tested, I had to moderate my language... this is what I had to say:
My mouthpiece is awful (full of awe).
Being impressed is an understatement.
My gob is smacked.
Cloud nine isn't high enough.
My cup runneth over.
I could go on and on but I don't want to embarrass anyone.
You have created a mouthpiece of dangerous properties.
I know the required range is partly up to the player, but double highs for a flugel are not a requirement. Even so, they are available. Pedal notes are not a requirement either but they are certainly available. In fact, I now have the "fattest" pedals that a trombone player could wish for.
I am now preparing for an overseas contest attempt next year........
Many thanks, and best wishes,
RexIM.
