I'll be glad to confuse the issue further! (sorry I'm a little late in
doing so). Try some Vandoren M13Lyre (the Lyre is a little graphic that
looks like a lyre). Also, try some Greg Smith mpcs. Over the last ten
years I've played these plus a Gigliotti in the Richmond Symphony. They
all have appealing points, depending on your needs and taste in mpcs.
