Re: Yamaha CSVR review.

For those who play a CSVR, what mouthpiece/reed setup do you use? My colleague and I have different styles of playing. Our setups reflect that. I have always preferred a lighter, responsive, flexible setup whereas my colleague plays a darker, more covered setup.

The resistance of the Yamaha felt really good to play. but it just didn't have any hold to the sound. Like many pieces of equipment, it was deceptive. It felt great up close, but it didn't sound as whole as a Buffet from a distance.

In testing, one of the Yamaha stock barrels was better than the rest. It still didn't give the instrument enough body though.

This may be just my opinion, but all the work I've had done on my Buffets didn't really change the inherent sound of the instruments. The work just made them feel better and play better in tune. I don't think that the Yamaha I tried will sound different even after an overhaul.

My main point of contention is the idea that you can buy a Yamaha and start using it at a high level. In this singular case, I don't think it's true for most professionals. They still need work. I'm open to trying more of them. However, I've already had two experiences that echo what I hear about them in the professional world.
