"Personally, I love Boehm mouthpieces, they seem more flexible. My Viotto (seems the guy making them is dead now...) is actually very dark and more restricted, yet not step-back from the L&K I used back then. And far superior to the Vandoren B45. Some day, I might go back again."
You mentioned this before and I agree, that the complete German setup--Oehler and a German mouthpiece--do wonderful things for the altissimo. But for flexibility, and especially flexibility in tone color, Boehm mouthpieces give more options, and possibly a poly-cylindrical or reverse tapered bore as well. Thing with Boehm mouthpieces is that you'd have to devote years of your life and substantial money for travel to really get a handle on what's possible and available. Several people here get into the fine points of different Vandoren models, but there are lots of really great makers, most of whom offer several chamber and facing options, and you never really know whether any given option will work for you without trying two or three examples of it, because each mouthpiece is different even with the same specs. One reason I've done OK with 1010s is that the options are much more limited, and the two biggest name makers live in the same town, though on opposite sides and they drive on the wrong side of the road there. So, you can try the whole range in one day. Like most things in music, luck and being in the right place at the right time are very helpful.
