In the end, it was a toss up between the GE, the M13, and a Fobes beginner
(using my regular reed). The GE won it. (For me...it was a $250
mpiece...I'll tell the story if anyone wants to hear...) The Fobes was
great, but the tone was just a hair too spread.

I have to mention that you are comparing my $29 STUDENT mouthpiece to
mouthpieces that reatail for 3 -4 times that amount. If you had tried any
of my pro mouthpieces against these I think the results would have been
different. Still, that fact that my "DEBUT" mouthpiece compares so
favorably to much more expensive mouthpieces is an indication of what a
great value this mouthpiece is.
