RE: mouthpiece decisions

I just bought a Smith mouthpiece, he sent three, and a Chadash barrel, and there were very noticeable differences in all three of the same facing. They all played very well, but I was able to choose one over the others due to slight differences in the higher registers on control and smooth transitions in the ranges. Gregory is very prompt, and quite a gentleman to deal with. I would hope you wait and compare, or at least to consider more than just one premium mouthpiece.

I am still waiting on my trial order from Charles Bay, from almost four months ago.

I also have a Morgan that is not as centered, but plays quite well for some things. It is probably the easiest playing mouthpiece I have ever played.
