Jim,

Just curious, did you use the mouthpiece that you normally use on your R13's?
Or did you do some shopping around to find a mouthpiece to use specifically
with your Yamaha or Leblanc? Do you think this could have some effect on your
perceptions?

My wife plays an Opus, and loves it. Very flexible sound, with good
intonation. I've used her horn a couple of times, both in chamber
concerts, and in an orchestral setting, with mixed results. I really
can't project enough through all the flutes, violins, etc. My Yamahas
are the same way: pretty sound, but too small. After playing Buffets
for over 40 years, it's to late for this old dog to change!
