I have a Buffet B-12 with the original mouthpiece. DO you think I should consider a better mouthpiece?
thanks
Sheila

All depends on how it plays for you. Common wisdom says yes, as Buffet stock mouthpieces are usually regarded as garbage, but people have been known to sound great on them. You may be one of those people.

If you have the new equipment urge, go ahead and feed it, but be honest with yourself when evaluating whether new stuff is better.

For about $30 you can get a mouthpiece which has a proven track record to be reliable, reed friendly and consistant.
