strengths but it doesn't seem to help. Over all I like the sound
quality. I was told that it is probably more suited for the jazz player.

Jazz? I wonder if there are two models, because mine doesn't sound very jazzy
at all. And then I also found that I could pop out the higher altissimo notes
with even better ease than my previous mouthpiece. But I guess all this
depends on the physical set-up of the individual.
