2 different mouthpieces

[Beginnings]

Hi all,
I've been using 2 different mouthpieces lately.
For years, I've been using a Bach 7C for big band and funk band. I just started using a Schilke 4764 for church gigs and small groups - I love the tone I get from this mouthpiece.
Problem - I've been getting a double lip sound periodically.
Will more playing on both mouthpieces correct this or is using 2 different mouthpieces a no-no?

I'd play them both more.

I'm not generally in favor of using different rim sizes, but I think those two are fairly similar. Lots of players do use multiple mouthpieces but it pretty much means you have to practice more just to keep them all up. I think it's better to keep it simple and use one rim, maybe changing cups for different applications.

The double buzz is probably a different issue and not directly related to switching mouthpieces. But it might be related to your feeling the need to use both - you're using the mouthpieces to compensate for something basic that's not efficient in your playing.

Practicing more with a double buzz usually makes it worse, not better.
