Old BD5 and new BD5?

Author: crvsp  Date:   2020-10-25 09:25 Hi all, I tested out some new mouthpieces today; 2 BD5s and 2 BD4s. (as a side note on the BD4s; personally I didn't think they were great; they felt a little bit on the bright side, but articulation and ease of emission was good.) I noticed a large difference between my old BD5 (2018) and the new ones I got (2020). The new BD5s seem to have a serial number underneath the BD5 text, while the old one doesn't. The new one also seems to have many thin grooves that run through the chamber (this might not be a new feature, not entirely sure as my old one may be worn down). Sound-wise, the new BD5s seemed to be much darker and covered in tone compared to my old one, which I was actually fairly happy about. Take a look at the attachments and let me know what you all think. Post Edited (2020-10-25 09:30)
