Every one says to get a better mouthpiece. Do I need large or small shank?

I have my Bach 11 and the P-Bone plastique in the case. I play at a very low "wine bar volume". I prefer the plastic one for comfort and better low pressure control. Also, my best advice to you on this novel and fun to play horn, which I gig about 3 days a week, keep the slide dry, swab the slide's insides after each use! I haven't found a better working slide lubricant system yet.

The square tin provides a good fit, twist (but don't force) the earpiece towards the part that goes behind your ear (if you feel ANY resistance when you twist, you're twisting it the wrong way and will break the wires inside) and turn the mic to form an 'S' and it will fit nicely in the Altoids tin. Hope this helps. I think I could even get by with the smaller tin, but haven't tried it yet. I've only had the 510 for a couple of days and love it!

I recommend the 16". I thought it sounded small too, but it is totally fine and doesn't seem small at all.

Hello Vince, to be honest with you either tube will work, but I would personally go with a smaller tube because they are just easier to install on the fly...

Larger is much better. Perforation on all sides is much better, so performance is much better and faster. I love mine!!

If you buy the bit adapter you can use standard small shank SDS bits. This unit is made for the larger shank bits. I have the adapter but I also use both sizes if bits. It is a great hammer drill. I am a General Contractor and it is a great addition to our work.

Any 2 inch shank will work. I used my old one on my set and it works just fine.

I would go for a model with a bigger motor. This one chokes with a 1/2" rip blade on 3" stock... I do carving, and rough cut my small stock on it, though feeding it very, very slowly.

Thanks, this is what I thought, but just wanted to see if by chance that the 1/2 inch was abailable. All of my bits are 1/2 inch shank. Thank You Tagwatts1

I have both the small and large size. found the large size stayed in better. They will only come out or get dislodged if you pull them out with your hands. the downside is it takes a lot of space in your mouth and keeps it partially open. better than chipping your teeth or biting your tongue.

The brand of mouth piece will not matter. It's the size (5C) that matters for beginners. You should match the metal color to the horn, but that's just for looks.

I wish that I had a bigger lock to try for you but all I can do is eyeball it. I have the lock that they suggested. The hole that you have to place it in is large enough...but I am afraid the larger shank might make it awkward to use. Also note on the suggested lock that the shank is a bit longer in proportion to the lock on a standard lock and I believe that is part of it. Think I would buy their lock.

Hello Martin. Absolutely, the shank MUST be from the same manufacturer. We do not condone mixing manufacturers products, ever. Each manufacturer has designed & tested their own products to meet or exceed their OWN weight distribution kits. Matching one manufacturers shank with somebody else's kit, may fail. And in the eyes of a insurance agent if a failure was to happen... the liability is now yours. Bert Camp

Check the operating manual for smallest size shanks the router will handle. I would also consider the job to be done. These are small bits and work well for light routing. If doing a lot I would stick with 1/4 shank bits.

Don't think so. But you may be able to buy the straight mouthpiece as an accessory and change it out..

They fit well on a metal mouthpiece... almost perfect fit. All mouthpieces are a little different, so you may not get a perfect match, but even if the pad is a bit small, it will still function how it should.

Look at the you tube, it will help you get right technique. I love mine. Are you small mouthed, sounds silly, but everyone's mouth is not the same size, including the opening.
