Re: Resistance: Custom vs B40

You can get excellent mouthpieces for less than$200. Custom (or hand-finished) mouthpieces do not have to spend as muchas you are worried about. I got two very nice hand finished mouthpieces for between $180 and $300.

Even so, a B40 is not the only option. Try a number of different Vandorens, if you have the chance. My daughter plays beautifully on an M13. She tried at least 15-20 different models with her teacher before getting that one. She sounds wonderful, and is doing very well in music school. Go to a store that has a good selection, and try out what they have.
