 Re: Eb Black Diamond Mouthpiece?

Well, I finally got a box of Eb V12 3.5s and tried them on the BD5 and all my other Eb mouthpieces. The first one was great and I thought "My search is over!". Unfortunately, the others I tried were consistently too hard.

So, I ordered a box of VD Traditional 3.5s and a box of 4s. After trying 8/10 of the 3.5 Traditionals, they are definitely the cut/strength for me on the BD5. They also work well on my M30 which is now my backup. The 4s are too stiff, but play well on my Kanter and my 5RV should the occasion arise to play those mouthpieces.

I'm still puzzled as to why the V12 3.5s (which are supposedly softer than Traditional 3.5s) feel too stiff on the BD5 and other Eb mouthpieces. My only thought is that the tip is 0.10 mm rather than 0.09 mm. As the BD5 facing opens more quickly at the tip, perhaps this difference in thickness yields a perception of greater resistance.
