Is my mouthpiece too asymmetrical?

Author: faltpihl ★2017

I play on a M15 which i like. But I noticed today when balancing reeds that I always have to thin the right side of reeds and that when trialing other mouthpieces the reeds that work on mine are always out of balance.

When I look closely I can see that the right rail is thicker than the left.

1. Should I try finding a new M15 with more equal rails?
2. Are there more variation one Should measure or eyeball to ensure a good sample of a mouthpiece? (after playing of course)
3. Are there any additional side effects with a mouthpiece with uneven rails other than reeds having be adjusted to compensate?
Would I play better or have easier time balancing reeds well if the rails are more even?

I read T Ridenours article on asymmetrical curves, but i dont think this applies here right?

Regards
Peter
