Re: M30 mouthpiece?

While you're searching:
The M30 can sound great and be pretty responsive. It seems to work best with Vandoren V12 reeds --about a 3.5.

The long lay is troublesome --you need to take a whole lot of mpc into your mouth. If you let it relax and slip out, you'll have trouble getting into the alitissimo.

Try taking more and more mouthpiece until the horn squeaks on an open G. That shows where you should have your lower lip on the reed. NOW, learn to play the thing with all reed in your mouth. You'll probably learn to like it.

I've been on mine for 11-months and still revert to my old short lay position and finger alti notes that won't speak.

For a street price of $50 or so, its a good deal.
