Has any one tried the Fobes Cicero Mouthpieces? If you have I would like to know your experience with them? Also, what size reeds do you recommend with them?



Thanks,
Luis

I tried the more closed tip (the 11). I felt the sound was extremely bright and my teachers agreed. It was an excellent quality mp, but the sound just did not work for me. I was trying it with both Rue Lepic 3.5 and V12 3.5, and perhaps I should have tried it with a stiffer reed, but the resistance with the V12s felt just about right, for me. I think that these could be a definite consideration for a trial, alongside others, but definitely try many different mpcs.

I have tried them and found them to be excellent mouthpieces. Those I tested were well balanced with a nice full sound. They were very comfortable playing mouthpieces. You might contact Clark to get his suggestions for reeds. He is very helpful.

Very fine mouthpieces..a student of mine uses the Kaspar copy with great success.
