I just started playing on a custom mouthpiece by Ramon Wodkowski (currently in UK) and wanted to post a review...
Overall, the piece is great. Flexible sound, easy to focus, and works great at all dynamic levels. It takes fairly soft reeds (Vandoren V-12 or Trad. 3 1/2), though I shave down harder reeds to get my preferred resistance and sound.
Ramon anticipates offering a line of mouthpieces in the near future.

Did he make you a mouthpiece or was it re-faced? Myself and Ramon talked about his plan to start making mouthpieces.

he definitely knows his work. he refaced a lelandais blank for me and it is super smooth. i'd like to see his mouthpiece line as i think they will be a success.
Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. they are but improved means to an unimproved end, an end which was already but too easy to arrive as railroads lead to Boston to New York

I sent him a Zinner blank, and he went from there. I had tried a mouthpiece that he had made previously and asked him to make this one to the same specs.

Ramon is currently in the process of having his own line of mouthpieces manufactured.
Rumour has it he will soon be working on Martin Frost's mouthpieces...
