Goodness. I just tried the instrument out with a Pomarico and the problem,
if not GONE, was significantly lessened. Same with the Pyne. The
instrument itself may need some tweaking--used is used--but I don't see a
looming disaster.

I think of people who go out and buy a hat...then an entire outfit...then
furniture to go around the outfit...then a new house so everything
matches. So there I am with this mouthpiece...I suppose I need to get
myself a Selmer Signature:-).
