Re: Mouthpiece pitch tendency

Mouthpieces vary, especially those made by Vandoren. Maybe try some more 5RVs and CL5s.

What I find interesting is that technically speaking, the BD5's tip is the most open out of the three, CL5's tip opening is similar to that of the BD5, and the 5RV is the least open tipped. And it seems that the more closer tipped mouthpiece you play, the sharper you become. Maybe try to not use as much pressure when playing on the 5RV and the CL5, since closer-tipped generally means you don't need to apply as much pressure. Generally speaking, again, since there are many factors like facing length.
