Very smooth, round sound, especially in the altissimo. More of a traditional Viennese sound than German. Soft-edged, non-percussive staccato. Very even and balanced in pitch and timbre throughout the entire range (doesn't get squealy when you go up high). Bridges wide intervals with a nice, liquid legato.
Compared with the M13 or the M15 the sound seems a bit smaller and doesn't have that famous "ring tone." Wonderful, though, for Viennese waltz music. Personally, I have trouble controlling the long open facing, so I have a mouthpiece tech put a close facing on it (close to an M13 or a Backun MoBa C facing). Then it works well with 3.5 Vandoren 21 reeds.
Not my main mouthpiece though, but nice when you want to sound subdued, mellow, and intimate--a night in old Vienna.
