Re: Backun mouthpieces vs. others

Don, your experience with Backun mouthpieces matches exactly with my teachers and mine and some of my colleges. At first, everyone will pretty much be shocked and I know exactly what you mean by powerful =D It's a great feeling....

As time went on I became less and less impressed and I knew something was just not the same. When a saxophonist walked in my practice room and said he missed my old tone I started to become curious... I recorded myself comparing the Backun to a few other mouthpieces. What I thought I sounded like while playing the Backun and what I heard to in the recording were very different. The difference was not bad...but the sound was simply lacking something. I won't go into detail and ofcourse experiences differ for everyone. Make sure you RECORD yourself!! In different settings and with different reeds. Have an experienced, professional ear listen to you.
