BACHOLOGY MOUTHPIECES
In this session Conn-Selmer Key Accountmanager Bert Damsma (a.o.Vincent Bach) and trumpet player Rene Henket (a.o.Andre Rieu Orchestra) explain how mouthpieces are produced and which criteria you must adopt to arrive at the correct mouthpiece choice.
With the knowledge of both you will get a good idea of the history of mouthpieces and what the mouthpiece does and how you can influence your sound.
Bert shows from the factory point of view and history how the mouthpieces are produced and with which philosophy Vincent Bach (the world's largest mouthpiece manufacturer) produces his mouthpieces and Rene shows (with the help of pressure measurement, spiro measurement and mouthpiece camera) how to play on a brass instrument.
Does the ideal mouthpiece (Holy Grail) exist?
And if so, which one?
This 2-3 hour session is ideal for brass players
(trumpet / cornet / flugelhorn / (bass) trombone / euphonium / baritone / etc) who are always interested in improving their playing, but also brass players who have problems with their embouchure and are seeking.
Bringing an instrument with you is highly recommended and almost necessary.
(It is not a playing session, but with an instrument and mouthpiece you will get a better picture)

Embouchure Analysis
Rene Henket
Many brass players have to deal with minor playing problems over the years. These problems often creep in over the years without you even realizing it. By means of an embouchure analysis it is possible to detect and remedy these problems.
The Embouchure analysis consists of:
- respiration measurement (spiro measurement)
- mouthpiece pressure measurement (Liptilt®)
- mouthpiece camera recording (Lipcam®)
The results are processed in an extensive written analysis.
An embouchure and study advice is linked to this analysis.
You will receive the analysis with advice including the recordings.
