Funny things, mouthpieces... I played a Pyne for a few years and finally
abandoned it because it didn't project. (for me) I now play a P34, which
I really like- lots of oomph, and it doesn't tire me out as much as others
I've played. I used a Gigliotti 4 for a while- too open (facing), sounded
too bright and unfocussed (for me).
