Re: Trying out some mouthpieces

Author: as9934

So unfortunately I was unable to try the B45 13 series as my band director sent them back. I still want to try out some masters mouthpieces as well as the new reserve X10 which from all accounts seems to be superb. I also am exploring the idea of vintage mouthpieces or a refacing on my current B45. The only experience I have had with a "vintage" mouthpiece was in 7th grade when I played a Selmer Signet with a Vandoren V360. At the time I thought it sounded awesome but in reality it was probably terrible. What can you guys tell me about vintage mouthpieces (where should I start, what to look for etc.)? What about refacing? Does anyone do low cost refacing of vandoren mouthpieces?
