kdk and Kissinger; I think that the gradual (long) curve of the mpc facing is more "reed friendly" than a "short" curve, and also that it is better for articulation (the polite term). But mouthpieces like the Selmer C85, a closed and short facing, have a special quality too; if you can find a good reed then you can play the altissimo with a soft reed to get "fat" high notes. However, Pete Fountain has a rapid vibrato which is not for me personally. But get his mpc whatever it is.

Iceland; Well then how do you like V-12 reeds? You mentioned softer reeds than those. So we have Marca reeds.
