Right now i play around with dixie and can smear, bend, scoop, whatever i need with my m15 . I agree that its not the mouthpiece that makes the music, and i can make the m15 do whatever i need it do. I am curious as i've heard that a more open mouthpiece can help generate a little more power and projection. But also, right now, it's more of a curiosity. I have two crystals, and one of them mis very very good, but very picky about what reed works on it. I haven't tried the pete fountain, and used to have an older wider mouthpiece which played well.
Essentially, i think i'm just having a relapse into my gear aquisition syndrom days (GAS) and am ready to change things up a little just for fun. I'll probably end up back on the m15 as i know and am very comfortable with it, but i want to just give it a shot and see what i think. Never know until you try, right?
