Since you like crystal mouthpieces, have you tried a Pomerico? The first=

crystal I ever tried was a Vandoren A1. All of my "compatriots" told me
that they thought it changed my tone for the better, but I wrestled with =
it
in regards to back pressure and ease of playing in the altissimo register=
=2E =

A friend loaned me a Pomerico 1+, which cleared up all the problems I had=

with the Vandoren, but still had all the good qualities that I switched t=
o
a crystal for in the first place.
