Dan,

This is in reply to your questions on Black Master reeds. A very warm,
centered sound (with no chirp) can be achieved with the Pyne Signature
mouthpiece model ~M bore/chamber shape and, for the Black Master reeds, the
facing should be medium-close or medium.

If you will email me directly with your USMail address, I will send our
brochures.

Thank you,

Kyle Pyne
