Re: Selmer Goldentone Mouthpiece

Well, my teacher was pretty non-committal. He didn't have an opinion on the Goldentone one way or the other, but said that if I wanted to try some other mouthpieces to compare he was pretty sure that the local music store carried a Rico mouthpiece, along with some Vandorens. He didn't seem to think a change was in order, though.

That said, I went to the music store after my lesson to poke around. They had a plethora of Carlton (??) mouthpieces, one lonely Rico, and two Vandoren B45s. Period.

Maybe I'm jumping the gun thinking about upgrading so early in my playing career. (I do like shiny new tools and am incredibly tempted by the Fobes Debut.) I'd thought I'd read lots of disparaging things about the Selmer Goldentone here and elsewhere, though, so thought I'd ask.

Is the Goldentone considered a brick or a decent-enough mouthpiece for a squawky beginner?
