Trumpet - Augie Haas
"Terry Warburton and his team not only make great mouthpieces, they care about the player. They work hard to ensure each player feels as comfortable as possible and that their individual needs are met. I am happy to be playing Warburton mouthpieces."
"In terms of switching diameters - you have to have the right tool for the right job. It doesn't quite make sense to play my commercial/lead piece when playing 3rd trumpet at Aladdin but I feel like playing lead on my bigger diameters is more work. Ultimately it boils down to for me is work smarter, not harder..."
