Selecting new mouthpiece(s)

Author: PoorCollegeOrc

I'm trying to decide on a new mouthpiece but I honestly don't know what is best for me. I've never quite understood what things like facing and tip opening do (or mean) so those numbers/descriptions aren't very helpful when looking online.

I'm not sure if the following will make sense or if it's even compatible but I'm looking for something that has:

- a round sound
- is easy blowing ( especially in the high register)
- a rich tone
- ease of articulation

Things to consider:

-started off on a M13 Lyre
-currently play on a Reserve 10XE
-use size 3 vandorens and size 3/3.5 grand concerts
-using a yamaha se
🌟my instructor says I'm prone to "pinching" on high notes
-focus is on symphonic/orchestral work but I do do opera/musical work

I only have one mouthpiece in consideration right now, that being the B40Lyre. Does anyone have any other recommendations?

Thanks all!
