Re: mouthpiece change

It's unlikely you wore out your M13, people have used the same MP for decades in many cases. Before retiring, but still play some, I used the same Bb MP for over 20 years as a pro. It's possible something you are doing changed or the reed selction has changed. My suggestion, which is what i did with my students, is to try as many as possible using a reed that your comfortabe with as well as a slightly softer and harded on as well. That way if you like something about a MP but the reed doesn't respond well you can try it with a little more or less resistant reed. Some people reject a good mouthpiece because the reed they try it with is to resistant or to free blowing.
