Dear nes and Greg,

Gee I hope my earlier post did not come off as a criticism. I have, however, found the particular Greg Smith cocobolo Kasper to have an exceptionally large baffel and a consequently lower pitch than any of my other mouthpieces.

When using this mouthpiece with the R13, my 66mm was firmly planted on the upper joint. Now I am using the shortest available barrel with my Yamaha CSGs (53.8 I think) and 441 is just about as high as I can go.

I just wish I had more wiggle room on pitch for those cold days.......and those "higher" ensembles.

............Paul Aviles
