Re: Trying out some mouthpieces

I pulled out my old Crystal Selmer Clarion HS** today. Decided to put this recording up on my channel of Bela Kovacs Hommage a M. de Falla.
Although I normally play on a Kanter D facing mouthpiece, this particular mouthpiece is always a joy to play.

I am playing 3 1/2 Rico Evolution reeds on this piece. I regularly get 6-7 reeds per box to play with this reed friendly mouthpiece. I haven't always been this lucky with other crystals though.

Play this through decent speakers. I am not using any sound enhancement or reverb. Just straight tone on my hand-held HD camera at home in my studio. One take.

It has been my experience that some mouthpieces are just more "reed-friendly" than others, so this should also be a consideration when choosing a mouthpiece.
I always thought that a good mouthpiece should feel good immediately. Getting "used to" a mouthpiece never worked for me.

I have a wonderful Chedeville mouthpiece that plays beautifully, but is it ever hard to find reeds for!
