Re: Time to rail against mouthpiece makers

Sorry Matt, but you might read Brad Behn's and Bob Bernardo's posts a little more closely. I know them both personally and they are honest, competent, dedicated makers who try very hard to satisfy their customers.
I am sure if you asked for a mouthpiece described like in your post, you probably still wouldn't like what you get.
You mention Bore (mm), Chamber size (s,m,l), Chamber type, etc. etc, but it is noted that even mouthpieces with identical measurements don't really play the same. Then you mention 'subjective' adjectives that have different meanings to different players and are relative to some other baseline that is not a standard.

You may have some good points here that need to be pondered but it is more complicated than you think. Get an old mouthpiece and some tools and have a go at fixing it your way.
