Mouthpieces seem to be a black art to me, so many variables ! I have just gotten a lovely new mouth piece which is lovely to play and has made a great difference to me (S1 by V.Krass) and noticed how perfectly the side and tip rails are and match the reed. Yet some of my vintage mps have very different configurations and yet give good results ('tho on other instruments and reeds). It seems logical to think that the tip rail should be uniform, perfectly flat and of a certain thickness to properly receive the reed tip. I have a wooden mp that performs well but looks like it shouldn't ! I have 2 store-bought brand names with perfect tips that play only so-so.So my question is what's up with the mp tip rail in general? Also found a picture of a mp with no tip? so what is really important in the tip to look for?
