Re: Finding a Mouthpiece

Wanting a new mouthpiece but not having the patience to try new mouthpieces is a challenging combination.

I only tried one Debut that I purchased. So it is not fair to generalize on how they typically are based on one try. The teachers that recommend them have experience with good results for several of their students.

My experience was that the Debut did not have a good facing on it. It was crooked and had a odd shape that was not responsive. A Fobes Nova that I have has a much better facing on it. I actually prefer the straight side wall design of the Debut to the “A” sidewall shape of the Nova. It has a brighter sound with more projection. It works better with Legere reeds I like which are a little darker than cane IMO. So I copied the Nova (CF?) facing curve over to the Debut and it is currently my primary mouthpiece.

The one Ridenhour Encore I have also has issues.
