At the risk of being contradicted by someone with strong convictions,
I'm going to repeat that you cannot make an intelligent choice of
mouthpiece simply by reading catalogs or other people's opinions.

If there was any hope of describing the results of a certain mouthpiece
for a certain instrument and/or person, vendors would not offer a
trial-and-return policy. They would offer the description, ask you to
make your choice, and they would make the sale final.

You may as well ask: "What's the best flavor of ice cream?"

Cheers,
Bill

What is the purpose of a language? =A0 To be beautiful or wise or
pleasurable in itself? Or to describe many different things ---
beautiful or not --- to other people? This is why the question of
whether music is a 'language' is relevant.
