Hey Trombone community!

Recently I have gotten a Doug Elliot LT N 101/G* and a G8 Rim. I had purchased this mouthpiece at TMEA and wow. It has given me the tools to really improve I feel like my playing is a lot different and more mature and full. I really like the cup a lot. I feel like I can sing on it but I think I need to customize is a little bit because I have gone through a embouchure change. My main this is probably the rim the diameter of the rim is perfect but it's a bit rough on my lips but I think a lexan rim might fix that issue.

Even though I'm saying negative things the mouthpiece is truly amazing and I love it.

Thanks!

What sort of embouchure change?

I assume I helped you choose the N101. I make a medium-narrow 101 that may be more cmfortsble. I think I have a silver one, and I may have a Lexan N101 and some others, but other than that I can't make any new Lexan rims right now.

I see you double on violin playing Mariachi, that's fantastic. A hundred years ago trombone-violin double was actually common.
