[TPIN] schagerl trumpets

[Michael Anderson]

I am no expert in this subject, but I'll try. You CAN use the same
mouthpiece, but I've found that it doesn't work as well. We tend to go with
more open throats to play the rotaries. The blow feel is quite different
because the leadpipe goes directly into the first valve and is very short. I
don't know for sure, but I think the leadpipe is more open. There are more
qualified people on the list to answer this question. Hopefully someone like
Graham Young will enlighten us.
