Re: Time to rail against mouthpiece makers

I think Brad makes a number of excellent points. To be honest, while the tip/length is a good starting point, often I have tried pieces that don't play anything like something else with similar numbers, sometimes even from the same maker. There are so many factors that affect how the mouthpiece plays.

I also find that many times the descriptions are not particularly helpful either. People often interpret the words differently and have their own concepts of feel and sound.

To be honest, the best bet, especially when dealing with a custom maker is having a conversation about what you are looking for, get the maker's thoughts, perhaps try a few different facings and then once narrowed down, try a few of that model to get your piece.
