How beautiful....you sound awesome. Thank you. I just discovered you on TH-cam, so I have not yet checked out what all you have. Also, I enjoyed hearing the differences and gained a lot of understanding per variations in their tones, etc. Thanks. God bless you in Jesus' Name.
Nice to discover your site! This iteration of Cheds has a brighter sound than the “Steel Ebonite” Cheds. I have several of these, and 5 Cicero Kaspars bought directly from Mr Kaspar in the 60s, when I was still a student. You mention the Backun Hawkins Vocalise, and these tune great! First line e, its 12th high b, first space f and its 12th c are perfectly in tune: the first mouthpiece I’ve ever played without a big spread in pitch there. Chris Sereque
Great video and playing! Those mouthpieces sound good. I would say my favorite was the Chedevile from that bunch. Sounded focused, round and warm at same time.
Haha thank you for your very kind comment, Anthony! It was a very interesting experience because when I played them the Chedeville sounded so loud to me but through the mic M15 sounds pretty good, too. I think I was most comfortable on the Hawkins in terms of being able to be musically expressive but that might be because that’s just what I’m used to (M15, as well). What do you play on?
@Joshua Heaney thank you, and I agree. The Chedeville I've found was kind of messed with unsuccessfully by someone prior to my purchase so it's getting some work done right now. I've since found out that even the Charles Chedeville blanks like these had quite a range, this one being a much later production model and basically not very sought after mouthpiece. I still liked the sound though, despite all of its flaws.The M15 I think is a very good mouthpiece close up and from far. It isn't the most even mouthpiece, however, as it gets a little bit wild in the altisismo and the long b is quite stuffy. But is there a perfect mouthpiece?? haha.. Let's see what happens to the Chedeville after the repair work! :)
In the past I've found the intonation of the Backun mouthpieces kind of unusable in pro settings so it will likely be a loooong time until I jump on them to try (sorry!).
This is a late Ch. Chedeville (possibly on a Lenlandais blank) so I can only speak for it but this is tuned at 441-443 imo. You will have to ask Dale about the others.
One thing I kinda disagree is, you should use some of your greatest played reeds to test the mouthpiece, not new ones. Because new reeds need break in time. I also think you played way too long the new reeds for first time. First time I play new reeds, I play them for 30 seconds each, after hours I play them 1 minute, next day I play them 2 and a half minutes and that's how It goes, increasing time each time😂

Chedeville sounds way better to my ears than the others. I am not a horn player - wound up here randomly. Nice demo, thanks for doing it.
Thanks for listening!

@@tpark89 I play on a M13 lyre and I really like M15's as well
@@Clarinetero2310 very nice 👍🏼
Apologies for the terrible audio... it was made on a whim.
Definitely a fan of the M15 at close range for stuff like chamber or smaller settings. Perhaps the Chedeville with a 3.5 for orchestral?

I hope you demonstrate us the Vocalises some time, I'm interested about your opinion on them..

@@tpark89 It's ok, tell me if Bonade's screws fit on solid silver Ishimori.
Please, can you check something and tell me? I want you to check If Bonade's screws can fit on solid silver Ishimori, check It please and confirm!!
Are there any Chedevilles or Kaspars tuned at 442hz?
This is a late Ch. Chedeville (possibly on a Lenlandais blank) so I can only speak for it but this is tuned at 441-443 imo. You will have to ask Dale about the others.
@@tpark89 I will.
please explain your system for using reeds . only playing a new reed for a few mins? makes no sense
I'd love to, in fact I have a video specifically made for this on my channel :) Thank you for watching!
Unfortunately that is not a true vintage Chedeville mouthpiece. Most likely dates from the 1960’s. I would confirm with Brad Behn.
You are absolutely right!
Is that an old R13
From the early 2000s I believe
@@tpark89 Nice one. I used to play a set numbered 262xxx. Similar flavour.
Hello, did you check what I told?
I think they fit. At work now.
@@tpark89 Please, check and tell me when you get home..
M15 > Chedeville > Hawkins. Hawkins are deceptively "closed" and the reed often "closes off." M15 do a lot well without any weirdness. imo.
Thanks a lot for listening! I agree, Vandoren tend to have far fewer hurdles and are more user-friendly.

Thanks for your thoughts. When I break in new reeds that's what I do, as well. I don't keep these "trial reeds."
@@tpark89 You did like you did just for the video, ok then!😂
