Luckily… there is now another way

The Hartman Method of finding a mouthpiece

I tried the traditional way but I have to admit I got a bit frustrated after a while. So I went down into the basement for a couple of decades and figured out how mouthpieces work. It turns out that there is a logical way to choose a mouthpiece for your horn. Remember how in Harry Potter, the magic wand fits the wizard – or not? That’s how a mouthpiece works! Either it fits the horn, or it doesn’t. But it isn’t magic, I’ll tell you how it works.

Follow the links below to learn more about how a mouthpiece functions and how to use this information. They will steer you in the right direction and help guide you on your path towards finding the mouthpiece that you and your instrument deserve!

But don’t just take my word for it (that’s the old fashioned way) – do your homework and find out for yourself!
