Rebecca- I'm very interested in your comment about the new mouthpiece taking
away the 'breathy' sound. I have been 'dogged' by this problem for years and
if you continue to find this improvement (beyond one day!) I may hjhave to
consider that I have had the same problem.
Problem is- I have no idea how to select a different one.
If you are able to comment, you may prefer to email me off-list at
headhousehold@-----.com unless there is a wider audience for this
question.
Regards
Bob Head
