Re: how many mouthpieces

I have collected well over 200, but only use 1 all of the time. It is a combination of a Robert Marcellus Kaspar and an Iggie Gennusa Chedeville. The Bob Marcellus is actually a Chedeville, Kaspar Cicero, 13. Kaspars bought Chedevilles for many years. Something I designed recently. 1.05 tip opening with a 33 1/2 length. I have a few Chedevilles and Kaspars, but this plays best. Somewhat thin rails, not too deep of a chamber/baffle like the dead Zinners, and a fairly large bore. The length is smaller than the Vandoren M series to keep you from going flat. Reeds vibrate well and there is that ping I often talk about which will fill any orchestra hall.

For the money the new Selmer mouthpiece is EXCELLENT, but needs rail work. For $100 it is the best mouthpiece on the market. The bore is the same as the old Chedeville's. It plays so much better than the Vandoren M series as far as tuning and sound projection. Contact me off-line and I'll fix the rails and free up the stuffy mouthpiece.
