Well, James Pyne makes nice mouthpieces that feel the way I like. But
quite honestly, when I got my first one (David Shifrin sold it to me...was
one of his extras from the Cleveland Symphony) - it took me months to
learn how to blow against the resistance (or what I FELT was resistance.
But...in the long run, it reshaped my entire concept of playing.

Other notables - Bay, Genusa, Smith, and of course...Hite.
