Getting back to robertnsmith, regarding the CXZ_K11*.

That mouthpiece was designed to be a HIGH resistance mouthpiece. At the time, I firmly believed that the only way to get a "dark" sound, was to use a fairly closed tip mouthpiece, with a fairly hard reed. A lot of people must have agreed with me, as I since it was introduced more than ten years ago, I have sold literally thousands of that particular model. But, I will agree with you that there IS a lot of resistance.

I'm not going to apologize, nor am I going to change that model. It still sells fairly briskly, and a lot of people say good things about it.

It more recent years, however, I have been developing mouthpieces that have much less resistance and allow a more free-blowing experience. Several of my more recent mouthpiece models, such as the CXZ_G13, have more open tips and require a more relaxed embouchure and breath control.

It's good to have many options, I think.
