Re: Vandoren 5JB vs 7JB & Profile 88 vs Traditional

Thanks Alexi! The reason I spoke about potentially requiring a strong jaw is because many people have said you need "iron chops" to play the 5JB, and that it is harder work than say a B45. The main reason I would like to buy this mouthpiece is because of the greater flexibility and amplitude - both obviously crucial things for improvisation etc.

Many people have also commented on how loud the 5JB can *potentially* play - if you have a "strong enough" jaw. I'm just wondering if the strength (or lack thereof) of my jaw is likely to prevent me from playing with volume...
