Actually, the P and P34 were designed with a .99 -1.00 mm tip opening, which is very close for a French mouthpiece and probably not so different from many German ones. But the length, the distance from the tip to the point on the rails where the reed meets the mouthpiece, is much longer on a typical German mouthpiece. The effect is similar to a close tip - a stiffer reed is needed than is needed for the same tip opening on a French-style mouthpiece.
Which is why, apart from the wider shape, the Black Masters may be too stiff for the Gigliotti.
