Has anyone else out there ever played on a Gigliotti mouthpiece? I currently
play on one which is the middle facing (2.5 I believe), and although I like
the sound that V-12 3.5s get, I am wondering if there are any other good
combinations that have been tried. Standard Van Doren's and Mitchell Lurie's
sound decent, but Olivieri's play extremely inconsistently in my experience
with my instrument, mouthpiece, and the particular reeds I used.

Also, has anyone else heard David Shifrin's recording of the Copland Concerto
with some New York Orchestra (I forgot which one)? It's SOOOOOOOOO awesome!
