Re: Tone VS Articulation

That’s a difficult choice because you really want both. I’d suggest that you try several more mouthpieces of the same model as the one you like the tone best and see if another one gives you the same basic tone you like but perhaps plays a bit freer. No two mouthpieces play exactly the same. If that fails and you don’t want to continue your search for the “perfect” mouthpiece I would recommend you go for the better tone and make adjustments to your reeds or visit someone that works on mouthpieces and have them “free” it up a little. If after a month or so you still can’t play with the necessary comfort you can begin the search again. It may just be that you’re not used to it yet, give it some time.
