Re: Morgan "scoop" beak vs Profile 88

Arnoldstang,

When I started, I didn't know that there were actually 4 different varieties of beaks: 1) Standard; 2) The Morgan "scoop"; 3) The Bay "Duckbill"; and 4) the Vandoren "Profile 88".

I wonder how the Bay "Duckbill" compares to the Morgan "scoop" beak.

I can't find actual side pictures of the Bay "Duckbill" or the Vandoren "Profile 88". (There are drawings of the Profile 88 but I don't feel confident about the angle involved.)

I find it very interesting as to how difficult it is to find actual side pictures of the various beaks. I get the feeling that it's almost as if they don't want a person to see them from the side because then they might possibly make visual comparisons. The only exception I have found is the Morgan "scoop" beak mouthpiece. So far, all of the others are at various angles which makes it hard to compare the "bite" involved.

I'd like to know the facing length of the RM-06 and will probably call the company today. If anybody knows it, please respond and let me know.

Thanks.
