Re: Mouthpiece recommendations

A reason to renew your mouthpiece might be that it not longer accepts reeds of available strengths (though this is not what you state).

A friend played baritone sax for more than 50 years on the same mouthpiece, but started complaining some years ago that it was difficult to find any reeds strong enough. He ended up with Vandoren traditional 5 of which he clipped the tip. I suspect the rails and maybe the table of his mouthpiece were worn, effectively decreasing the tip opening.

He refused to try other mouthpieces, claiming they were not as good as his old one and went on blaming Vandoren for 'reed strength inflation'.
