Re: Thoughts on M30D?

My wife and I both play M30D and have several examples of this mouthpiece lying around, I have measured the facings and found them to all be in the 1.09-1.11mm range as far as tip openings are concerned, so much closer than the standard M30. My measurements have in the past proven comparable to those made by Brad Behn and Mike Lomax, so this result is probably fairly accurate.
Here is a short excerpt from a performance where I am playing M30D with a Legere Signature sop sax 3.25 reed... judge for yourself whether it's bright enough. In this recording I'm "playing a bit safe safe" as the pianist and I had only had one run through, and this was the last piece in an hour of music that had me swapping between clarinet/bass clarinet and a 10 key clarinet... sorry about the flat high D- that's not the mouthpiece!
