It is casual to the most obvious observer that most rocket scientists
would have trouble understanding mouthpiece nomenclature, since each brand
seems to have their own, unique, numbering system. Is there any good reference
works out there that explain lays, tip openings, chambers, bores, roofs, etc?
And how they apply to orchestra, chamber music, ensemble, jazz, etc?
And decodes the different makers numbering systems?
