Re: Pillinger Mouthpiece F2 and F3

I recently bought a mouthpiece from Ed Pillinger. He was very helpful and patient, sending a number of different things to try. The postal overheads will be a bit more complex if you're not in the UK, however: there would be customs charges if you're in the USA. Apart from the different F2/F3 blanks, he offers a big range of lays, and I certainly didn't try all combinations. But of those that I did, I preferred the F2. This is because I found the F3 chamber made my throat notes too flat, in a similar way to the Vandoren 13 series. Of course, for some people this nature of the 13 series is a feature and not a bug - it may help if you know which camp you're in.
