I Just bought a Rovner Eddie (Charlie) D. model and love it. Its is
much the same as the regular Rovners except it has two metal bar that contact
the reed. The idea is that it allows the reed to vibrate more freely. As far as
mouthpiece go I use a Borbek 11. The MP is very personal I would play as many
as possible before I made a choice. Good luck Neil.
