Click on the mouthpieces and read what they say about them. I was looking for a new mouthpiece because I couldn't find another Pyne I liked and I was so happy with these mouthpieces! Super powerful sound, round, and dark, as well as extremely easy to play. You just need to find the right facing for you. I play an L and have been for about a year and a half and couldn't be happier.

I have one of these mouthpieces in the "L" facing. I find that it plays quite dark, but is less responsive than my Hawkins. It also requires a 3 1/2 reed, as opposed to the 4's that my Hawkins requires. I use a BG Revelation ligature which aids in response.
I also find that the mouthpiece seems to correct the intonation of the upper register from high G to C. I always had to blow down these notes, but on this mpc they come out in tune with minimal adjustment.
I also use the mpc in conjunction with a MoBa Fatboy barrel in cocobolo, and they work nicely together.
Overall, I like the mouthpiece quite a bit! I've been playing on it exclusively since I got it.
Hope that helps!

I played a T and later an L model for a little less than a year. I found it to be very comfortable and just feel very good and secure. The only thing on the feel side was that the altissimo was a bit harder to play. The sound is dark and round, as mentioned above, but I found it to be a bit less ringing and a bit on the reserved side than the other mouthpieces I've played.. but I was very happy with that sound but my teacher wasn't.. so I eventually switched to a Hawkins and then a Behn.

I have one... Picked it up at Clarinetfest. It works well for me. Takes the edge off the sound and warms it up nicely. No complaints. It is the only zinner based mouthpiece I have yet to play that is really different. I'm not sure why, but this one really is different.
Best advice: Try one.

I'd say the best thing about them is consistency. From what I understand, they use a CNC machine to apply the facing. Which allows for VERY tight tolerances on the facing. However I don't believe they touch the inner chamber.
And what this means is that I can take a reed, slap it on, and EVERY "L" model mouthpiece will play with my embouchure. However each L model plays SLIGHTLY different with respect to tone, resistance, etc. So it's nice to know that I can check lots of mouthpieces and just worry about the tone color and how it sounds. NOT have to worry about whether it'll feel the same, articulate the same, etc.
Right now I'm trying out four "L" model mouthpieces. They are all very good. Will one become my primary mouthpiece? That remains to be seen. Will one remain in my hands and only three return? Yup. Cause at the very least, it's still a great mouthpiece and I like to "collect" great mouthpieces.
