Go to http://www.vandoren.com/Product/vanMID.htm, click on Bb in the
left-hand frame, click on the link "About Traditional, "Profile 88",
American pitch Series "13" & Bb 2 Tones" in the right-hand frame.

I have recently switched to an M15, which is a Profile 88 mouthpiece,
and find it a bit easier to play for longer periods without air
leakage...but that's just me.
