Part of the problem is that there is no universal definition as to what is a closed facing, a medium facing, and an open facing. Often it seems that "medium" facings get unfairly labeled as "open".

Personally I do most of my playing on a mouthpiece with a 1.13mm tip and a ~17mm facing while using a #3-3.5 reed (depending on brand). I have had people tell me that this is a very "open" setup even though I feel it falls more in the medium range.
