I used to play Bach 1-1/2G for a long time, but I had some issues with my high register and also a little bit thinner sound in trigger range, so I finaly decided to try this 1AL mouthpiese. WOW! What a difference! Despite it is a little bit bigger than 1-1/2G (only about 0,11 mm) my high register instantly improved drastically! Trigger range and pedal register get much bigger sound. Everithing sound much clearer, more focused. Don´t get me wrong - Bach 1-1/2 is great mouthpiese, but it turned out that Denis Wick 1AL suits me better. As we brass players know, everyone is different and in the and everything points down to your embouchure. Absolute winner for me!
