Paul,

I edited to clarify the point about flat curves and legeres to clarify it's referring to French mouthpieces with French cut legeres. German mouthpieces and reed cuts are obviously not the same.

The M30/BD5/B40 as well as the newest offerings from Selmer have excessively wide rails. They're also very rectangular, just sort of a brick that has little artistic value. I don't think this thickness and shape is a good idea, as it does lend itself to being "thuddy" in articulation as you mentioned, as well as sounding dampened. I was simply saying that a thin tip rail can make a mouthpiece a bit less forgiving on reed placement (below, at, or above the tip rail) with legeres.


The ideas I mentioned are some of the subtle adjustments that I make when someone requests a legere-ified mouthpiece. At the end of the day, it's still in the range of what I consider to be acceptable for my style of mouthpiece refacing. If I have a mouthpiece that is playing great with cane but legeres feel a bit off, I will go through these parameters and adjust as needed.



None of these adjustments are huge, still a mouthpiece that plays well with cane also.
