 "It came with the horn!"
Author: Bruno 
Date:   2006-05-29 16:07

The other day, in my never-ending quest for a better mouthpiece-reed-ligature set up (that's all of us, right?), I dug out the C* Buffet mouthpiece that came with my R-13.
I have no idea how to categorize it, but first I noticed it was quite a bit heavier than the ten thousand Van Dorans I've accumulated, and also, that the rails, beak, and tip opening were nice and symmetrical. The MP material seems steel-hard.
Gave it a try with a Harrison ligature, then a Luyben holding an Olivieri #2.
Voila! What a terrific mouthpiece! Smooth, liquid, same nice tone carries right across the break, (altissimo's not harsh or squealy), easy blowing. Simply a GREAT mouthpiece.
Now I have to find out what makes it so great; opening, lay, type of material it's made of, chamber, etc.
I wonder if they're still available and are as nice as this 30-yaer old MP.
