Subj: Finding the PERFECT mouthpiece
Date: Sat, 27 Sep 1997 17:28:10 -0400

Lately it seems that I've been tearing at my hair tying to find the perfect
mouthpiece. I currently play a Mitchell Lurie crystal (with a V-12 reed
and a Gigliotti ligature), which with a compatible reed is a truly
incredible mouthpiece. Unfortunately, the mouthpiece is very picky about
the individual reeds it will cooperate with. I'd just like to know what
other people are playing, and how they feel about them. I'd also like to
ask what brand of reeds and ligatures people are playing, and how they feel
about them as well.

Thanks
Gene
