> Marissa, I three am a college student, and just this fall, was forced to get
a new mouthpiece when my B45 of my high school years when sky diving off the
top of a piano and onto a practice room floor. Needless to say, it was trashed!
Since second semester auditions were three days away, I frantically borrowed
mouthpieces from friends. I tried a Gennusa (Genussa?) and I liked it, I liked
it even better with someone else's Eddie Daniels ligature. I then went to the
store and tried a few Genusas ($65)and found they were all slightly different
and not as nice as my friend's. I then borrowed another person's Robert Scott
mouthpiece and liked it lot. I went to Mr. Scott's workshop and after listening
to me play, ha handed me about a half-dozen to try. I found one I love and it
was only $40, not too expensive, really.
