Over the years, I have found that having the mouthpiece snug in the barrel is essential to good response. At one time I had a mouthpiece that seemed to have changed, no matter what reeds I put on. I was convinced that somehow the facing had warped. It occurred to me that the mouthpiece was fitting a bit loose. Once I had the cork replaced it played great-exactly as I remembered.
