I emailed the company about the new Playeasy mouthpieces, and they gave me some useful information, though they haven't answered any new questions I sent them back in August. I'll share what they told me here.
I asked about the difference between the new and old Playeasy mouthpieces, and they mentioned that the old Playeasy B models are made for both cane and synthetic reeds, but because both cane and synthetic reeds have different "preconditions" for producing a sound, there were many variations between the same model mouthpieces.
The new line fixes that problem, I guess...
Now the B2 is divided into Puccini Tosca and Nommos B2.
Puccini has the same facing as the former B2, but adapted to play with cane. So it starts more freely and vibrates more easily, as cane reeds have more stability (I thought synthetics are more stable?)
The other mouthpiece is the Nommos B2 for synthetic reeds. This mouthpiece has more resistance.
They don't have a distributor in the US yet so they told me that I could order directly from them.
I asked about the B1, and they don't have a new B1 model because the original didn't sell well. They have old B1's in stock.
