Hi Ruben! Good questions. I don't know the answers. In fact pretty much all of the major large mouthpiece makers seem to be doing thick rails and strange tip openings, as we all know. Also very small bores. It bothers me greatly. Yet the German mouthpiece companies haven't made too many changes through the last 70 years and their mouthpieces are very consistent. Yet if we look at the old Kaspar and Chedeville mouthpieces they had thin or very thin rails. Also all of the Selmer's did too. My guess is the people designing mouthpieces now are very stinky players or maybe not players at all. So the Quality Control is not there. Boy, if these companies hired just one really talented musician to help them out, the mouthpiece world would be very different. There wouldn't be anyone selling mouthpieces for $700 and up. Plus they don't play!
Some of the mouthpieces being made today show great promise for around $125 US. Including the BD5's. It would be great if these mouthpiece adjustments were done at the factories and not have the players turn to refacers.
