Hi Paul, I feel as if I have hijacked this thread and I had no intention of doing that. I've had the Debut before but found it too resistant and tiring. I never got above a Rico Royal #2 with the Debut. I do enjoy playing with a medium 34 facing, but, it difficult for me to find a extremely free blowing mpc with that facing. I know the Portnoy BP2 has been mentioned many times as to being "free blowing", but, that one has a 1.15 tip opening. Interestingly, I remember reading a thread about a teacher who had the whole Portnoy line. First, he had his students try the BP1 and then the BP2. For some reason, almost all of them liked the BP2 better. However...there were students who liked the BP3 even better and that one has a 1.17 tip opening. I find it hard to figure that one out. What I'm looking for is some kind of a pattern as to which tip opening and facing length to keep heading towards. And that means, to me, a lot of experimentation. I thought I could analyze it mentally, but I pretty much failed in that endeavor.

Micke, I really want to keep my small bore instrument because the intonation is almost like a straight line from E3 to C6 and the throat tone are quite clear. What I have is a Vito Classic 7242 which, to me, is built like a tank.

As much as I used to think that I could theorize my way to obtain my mouthpiece objective, it now appears that I have a lot of trial and error experimenting ahead of me.
