We are having the opposite problem. In Germany, we need a mouthpiece that
will get us up to 442. We have several Zinner mouthpieces we are trying
now but they are all too flat. What suggestions do you have? We want
something where it will be easier to get reeds. We have a hard time here
finding what we need because most everyone here plays German system and
uses German mouthpieces and reeds. We were using a German mouthpiece and
click barrel so the intonation worked but we're not really satisfied.
We'd like to get a French mouthpiece but one that can get us up to 442.
