RE: Bay Mouthpieces

Spending 200$ on a mouthpiece is not much. Peter eaton's mouthpiece cost's more than 400$,Bradford Behn's vintage mouthpieces costs around 600$ and also the Backun mouthpieces. For me when I changed from Vandoren to Bay I could use a lot more reeds in each box and I got a lot grater projection. For me when I play for 4-5 hours per day then each mouthpiece lasts about 2 years then they will become much less reed friendly. But the best thing is when you take say 4 vandoren B45 mouthpieces they almost sound the same. When you take 4 Bay's say H1 MO-L they sound different. You can choose resistance and tonecolor. After a year or two Bay's reed succes compared to Vandoren's have payed them up. If you can't affored Bay professional model I would try Bay Nuance costs around $100 or even less and they have fairly the same reed success but they don't project as much as the professional models.
