Description
The Buzzing Bundle for Euphonium Includes:
- ACB Euphonium Mouthpiece in silver plate (your choice of size)
- BERP for low brass (large shank)
- Superslick Mouthpiece Brush
Each mouthpiece is easy to center and allows the player to produce a rich and distinctively euphonium sound. The tone stays full in all registers without every becoming "woofy" in the lower ranges or thin in the upper register. They feel very comfortable on the face and allow for flexibility in all ranges. . I think that is part of what makes them exciting to play.
ACB 5.1 is similiar to a Schilke 51D with a very comfortable rim, easy to focus, and a playability that is ideal for players of all ages. It is a 1.004" inner diameter with a deep cup.
Our Euphonium mouthpiece series was designed with Adams euphoniums in mind but work well with a wide variety of euphoniums. These mouthpieces have a unique feel to the rim and the cup making it hard to compare to other mouthpieces. To give you and idea of how it might feel in comparison the Euphonium 1 and 3 have an inner diameter that would close to (but a little smaller) than our ACB 3 trombone/low brass mouthpiece (ID 1.060) and the Euphonium 2 is in between our ACB 4 and ACB 3 trombone/low brass mouthpiece (ID 1.043). The rim width for al of them is just over 0.5". However, we caution you not to compare them too much to other mouthpieces. They really are their own mouthpiece.
Euphonium 1: This has turned out to be the most popular model. This one has been very popular with euphonium players and trombonists who double on euphonium. The sound stays rich and full but allows for nimble playing across the instrument. Ideal for soloists and ensemble players.
Euphonium 2: The Euphonium 2 is easy to play with a large and loud sound while producing a rich tone (some have even described it as a "thick sound") in all registers.
Euphonium 3: This model is a perfect pairing for the Adams E2 and feels very good with the Adams E3 as well. It feels quite open and larger than model 1 or 2. The 3 produces a very full sound - especially in the lower register. Bass trombonists who play euphonium, tuba players who play euphonium, and euphonium players who prefer a larger feeling mouthpiece with an open throat have gravitated to this model.
From BERP:
One of the leading proponents of buzzing the mouthpiece was James Stamp. I had the great honor of studying with Jimmy while I was a member of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and his teachings influence the exercises and practice suggestions that make up the berp concept. He had students add resistance to the mouthpiece when buzzing by either placing their little finger over the end or adding a rubber electrical extension called an “alligator clip.” By learning to blow into resistance, you become more aware of undesirable resistance in your body, and learn how to avoid it by using proper breath support. Jimmy also asked us to finger the valves of our instruments while buzzing the mouthpiece, to make us aware of the connection between the fingers and the brain’s perception of pitch. I put the two ideas together, buzzing and fingering (or moving the slide) to the corresponding pitch, to maximize the benefits for my students and myself.
