Re: Gigliotti "P" facing

'Based on this thread I expected the mouthpiece to be comfortable with 3.5 reeds in general, but I had to go down to blue box 3.'

My Gigliotti P is quite nice and plays well on anything from a Vandoren Traditional 3 up to a Traditional or V12 5. For it I'd normally choose a Traditional 3.5 or 4, but sometimes I've tried a 3 and detected almost no difference from a 3.5 (which admittedly may have something to do with inconsistency in the reed strengths). The tone can be something special with a 5 reed, but it's just not as easy to play that as on my normal mouthpiece (a Krass V1).

Mark, will you be doing a before-and-after video of your work on your Gigliotti P? I'd be keen to see it.
