Hwy kerryklari,


Thanks for the extra explanation. I don't know how helpful some generalizations are from "the collective." One stock Buffet mouthpiece I tried was pretty amazing but it came with one of the horns owned by the Army and I was not quite familiar with their policy on "expendables" at the time (they probably wouldn't have cared a whit if I wanted that one).


If a mouthpiece WORKS for you, that should be the standard.


You are correct about their being "other geometries" with the Viotto. The fellow who actually makes them is getting on in years and they are pretty individual looking from one to the other. He plays them and adjusts to his sensibilities so the end result is in his ballpark. The one I have has pretty thick rails and is correspondingly a bit "thuddy" but it produces a pleasing sound and sent me on the right track as far as "easy playing" goes. I don't regret using that one as one would a bicycle with training wheels. I'd do it again in a heart beat!
