Re: Jazz Mouthpiece

If you look over in the classifieds, I have a used B45 available if you want to add it to your arsenal. Feel free to make an offer.

I have never been much of a fan of big wide open mouthpieces. As for most issues with equipment, I have often found that I gain some things and lose others. For example, I find it a bit harder to center in the tone and control open mouthpieces. I agree with some of the comments that you should try a few things and see what feels best for you. Make sure you have a bunch of reeds, as different facings will not all work the same with one reed. I would however look for something that is free and flexible feeling.

There are quite a few players (Eddie Daniels comes to mind) who use a relatively close facing with great results.
