Re: New Reseve EVOLUTION Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece

I found the previous Reserve/D'darrio mouthpieces to be quite promising but not quite to my liking, however when I had the chance to try one of the 1.08mm Evolution mouthpieces I was pleasantly surprised.
My wife and I currently play the M30D model, and I've had a chance to measure about 10 or 15 of these (and found quite consistent measurements, a big change from the Vandorens of the 80/s/90s). The Evolution had a very similar facing (probably why i liked it so much) and I would be able to perform on one of these with just slightly different reed selection.
My only hesitation is that there is a little more resistance built into the last few mm of the facing, the "roll to the tip" that you used to read about in Genussa advertising, and you have to work a little to get the sound going when articulating. This however also gives it a bit more hold/security when playing at higher dynamic range.
A good mouthpiece- very similar to the M30D, or to a 5RV Lyre with the facing lengthened a bit...
