Re: Question on Greg Smith

Absolutely nothing wrong with Greg Smith mouthpieces. If you contact him, he always replies and is very helpful. I played a Smith Kaspar style mouthpiece for years, and loved it. Won several auditions with it.

But I was looking for a more Euro-German sound, and I migrated to Clark Fobes mouthpieces.

I started with his CF+, migrated to his CWS after about a year. About a couple years, (now about a year and a half back) I went for his 10K (blue) in a 2L facing. Absolutely awesome, for me! Also, I have been using Fobes Europa 2 mouthpieces as well. The 10K features a longer lay than most, and the Europa has a wee bit longer lay than the 10K. Depending on the ensemble, I use either of these two, exclusively.

So, in my arsenal of all things Fobes, I have a couple CF+, a couple CWS, a couple 10K, and 3 Europa mouthpieces.

My Bass is a Fobes, as is my Eb.

Have Fun!
