Re: wood mouthpieces

No experience with wood mouthpieces to share, but a question (which is the similar to one I often ask of posters who ask about changing equipment in general): what is it about a wood mouthpiece that you expect to be an improvement over standard hard rubber ones?

I ask this not to be argumentative or critical - I guess the fact that Greg Smith makes wood mouthpieces is testimony that they aren't simply outmoded antiques. Still, as far as I know, Greg himself doesn't use one.

Your question only concerns the mouthpieces' durability, so I assume you already have a favorable opinion about the way they play when new. Does wood offer qualities that aren't available in rubber?
