Hi,

"I know the question has already been asked in this thread but some time has passed now. So, has anyone tried the BD5 mouthpiece on Alto or Basset Horn?"

For me personally if was a round sound, but I found it choked and I could not "blow it out". My tonguing is definitely not a strength and for me that choking sensation crept in again. I tried lots of differing reeds. I would note that this is a personal opinion.

I have a couple to spare in just about new condition if you want:)

As I mentioned, I believe above, I am now using a Pillinger, magnificent. Generally free blowing, in tune, works well on basset and alto. Altos mouthpiece can be a bit "twangy". The Pilinger has a round sound but slightly brighter than the BD5. An excellent compromise for me.

Re pomarico, I would agree with the above comments.

Older Vandorens
The Vandorens B44s that I have were very badly made. I have refaced both of them. One has come up quite well. The tables and rail on both were everywhere.
Their quality control has definitely improved.

Older Selmers
Often made worse than the previously described Vandorens.

Yamahas
I have used the 7c on bass for a while. On alto maybe a 4c or 5c .

Leblanc
better than some as described previously

A bit of self-promotion,
my version of oblivion
