Re: Worst mouthpiece thread

The one I liked least was a Selmer B* Bernard Portnoy picked out at Interlochen and insisted that I use.

I had been using a Stowell-Wells-Schneider C3, picked out by Keith Stein the summer before, which was extremely open and deafeningly loud. Portnoy probably wanted to quiet me down and learn to get volume some other way, but I hated the B* from the first moment. It had impossibly high back-pressure and a thuddy, constipated tone.

I stuck with it for a couple of years until I got a Chicago Kaspar.

The first mouthpiece that came with the Pan-Am that was my first beginner's instrument was probably worse, but I have no way of evaluating it.
