Subj: Re: [kl] mouthpiece reccomendations
Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2003 19:03:48 -0500

This happened to me. I suddenly went mad and replaced my B&H 10-10
mouthpiece with one of Peter Eaton's. It cost me a third of the re-sale
value of my instrument, i.e. 190 quid. It has improved tone and
articulation. It has brought me some fresh problems with tuning at the top.
I do not regret it-I can sort the tuning (of course I can!?)- everything
else has been improved.

Has anybody got any comments on the 10-10? Mine is both wonderful yet
frustrating- or is it me?

Mark.
