Re: Finding the right Mouthpiece for my reeds

This assumes you've already made a major investment in reeds. I know some professional players who do stockpile boxes and boxes of reeds ahead of time, but these aren't the players who ask about mouthpiece choice in an online forum - they've generally already made their basic choice about facing parameters and any mouthpiece shopping they do is for subtle differences among similar pieces of equipment. They buy reeds by the carload to get volume pricing (or they expect to throw a lot of reeds in the trash). I suspect the majority of players who are stuck between significantly different mouthpiece types are inexperienced and not so heavily invested in reeds. But there are always exceptions and they might legitimately think the way you've suggested.
