Contra-Alto mouthpiece

Author: Max S-D

I just switched over to Contra-Alto (from soprano) for kicks in my University Wind Ensemble. The mouthpiece supplied with the (leaky) plastic Bundy has a small "step" or "wedge" baffle like you might find in a jazz saxophone mouthpiece. I guess this is for easy sound production, but it seems like this is making the sound buzzy and thin. What is a contra mouthpiece supposed to look like on the inside? Is this baffle normal?
