 Re: Pros using wooden mouthpieces?

IMHO, there are no particular advantages or disadvantages to wooden mouthpieces over hard rubber ones. I've played a Pomarico wooden Bb clarinet and Lebayle wood tenor sax mouthpieces for a while, and with a reasonable (but minimal) amount of care and routine maintenance both have given me good service. As far as sound and response, these are primarily determined by the facing and interior design and are independent of mouthpiece material for the most part. For particulars, check with Fred Lebayle (France), Pomarico (Italy), or Greg Smith (US), who are the current makers of quality wood mouthpieces that I'm aware of.
