GBK,

I too have a Brillhart alto MP just as you described in my arsenel. When I play that against a 7 Meyer though, the Meyer wins hands down. I got the MP in the 1950s in response to the Bird's influence and a lot of hot players at the time used them.

When I got to college though, I immediatly switched to a more traditional Selmer Soloist C* and and E as well for jazz. I do remember a master class with Rascher though when I was at Interlochen when I showed up with a metal Otto Link MP on my tenor. The master had some non-flattering words for my setup. As I recall, he used the term "locomotive mouthpiece." I quickly got the Selmer Soloist C* out of my case.

Brenda, there was a Runyon sax mouthpiece (I think maybe still available) that was a clear, red plastic. However, I can't remember seeing anyone using a white clarinet MP though. Maybe hang on to the MP for historical reasons; I've got several of that category as do probably most of us more senior players.
