I guess the Subject line says it all. I've been thinking about trying one but it's always been my contention that the wider you open your mouth (while playing a woodwind) the bigger is the oral chamber. The "88" allowing as it does, less distance between upper teeth and lower lip would seem to mitigate against what I consider to be one factor in having a good sound - the bigger oral chamber that obtains with a traditional profile, (albeit not much bigger than you'd have with the 88, I'm sure!). Any thoughts?
