Re: Pyne Mouthpieces

The Pyne design is asymmetrical. It therefore requires reeds that are asymmetrical, and also, I believe, a change in embouchure. You can't slap a standard reed on and expect it to play in the familiar way. If you do, it feels stuffy and resistant. (I know -- I've tried.)

Nevertheless, some very fine players play (or at least have played) Pyne mouthpieces http://www.pyne-clarion.com/Artist_Profiles/index.html.

Unfortunately, his site does not describe his various designs. If you're ready to spend that kind of money, it's best to go to his studio for a custom fit.
