 Re: Thinking about an open mouthpiece

My thoughts:

1) A 2.5 reed would be a logical place to start on an open-tip mouthpiece.

2) Don't worry too much about your embouchure. You'll adjust your intonation on-the-fly as with any other mouthpiece. Just play it!

I haven't had any luck at all with Legeres below 3.0 in strength, but Fibracells have worked well for me.

I don't think an open-tip mouthpiece is a prerequisite for Dixieland. I play on a medium-tip Chedeville-blank Buffet piece that works well for Dixieland, jazz, concert band, marching...everything. All I have to do is pick the right reed for the style of music at hand, and I'm set.
