Roger--

I will check the mouthpieces (I have 2), but for the record, I did purchase them
within the last year (spring or summer--I had about 6 months to convert before my
Masters recital). The mouthpieces by Richard Hawkins were also recommended to me
at the time, but I was restricted by finances. More to come...
