I have a copy of most of Benade's mouthpiece research notes and nothing
is mentioned anywhere about mouthpieces overblowing an octave.

You got me to thinking on this (cloud of smoke around the
computer). If
it overblows the 8th in lieu of the 12th, what about all the extra
keys?
Will it be posible to get that low C now? I just don't see how it
would
work. MAYBE in one register, but not in all.
