Walter,
Are you able to identify the necessary missing attributes in more detail for
my benefit? I play on a B45, but I am looking around and it may help in my
quest...
Thanks, Gavin

No disrespect ANNIE, but the fact that so-and-so plays a B-45, is really
irrelevant. If I went through 100 or so B-45's, selected the one I liked
best, touched it up here and there, and adopted my embouchure and reeds to
the mouthpiece, I could probably play well enough that few would note any
difference.

The vast experience of most players, however, is that this mouthpiece,
albeit the "standard" in the industry, lacks certain necessary attributes.
