Avoid switching back and forth.

We occasionally meet players who keep switching back and forth between conventional mouthpieces and Monette mouthpieces, and in the process they do not get much satisfaction out of either. They sometimes get caught between the advantages Monette equipment provides and the body use and sound concept that they lived with for years. Often, the more they switch back and forth, the more confused they become. This guide has been prepared to help players more consciously understand how to get the most out of our equipment, and then forget it! We strongly recommend picking one brand of mouthpiece and staying with it!
