No offense taken. I was just trying to address the problem several people
stated about playing sharp. Some mouthpieces on the market do play
sharper than others. Anyone who is playing consistently sharp might want
to try for example the newer Vandoren series M13 or maybe the Genusa
mouthpieces. These mouthpieces tune flatter than many others.

I recently purchased an M13 lyre and it has a wonderful caramelly ring. The
facing was similar in specs enough to German facings that I tried some of the
Vandoren White Master reeds with it and it is a really nice combination. Has
a real "glow" to the sound.
