Re: how many mouthpieces

I have at least a couple of dozen, but generally only use one and keep one other as a backup. I am currently using two slightly different facings of the same blank, one for Légères and the other for cane reeds. The closer-tipped facing just seems to work better with the Légères. The one I use for cane is .03 mm more open. I have a third, a twin of the one I use with cane, that I keep handy but don't carry in my case. As for the other mouthpieces, they sit in a drawer and occasionally I get one out to see if I still prefer what I'm using. When it turns out I do still like my current one better, I put the other back in the drawer.

I do use some of the more standard ones as trials when students need a mouthpiece. If we find one the student likes, he or she orders a new one and I keep mine for future reference.
