I am the proud owner of two American Bore Rosewood(Bb and A). I also use a Charles Bay wooden MOL mouthpiece with several ligatures (Eddie Daniel, Optimum or Charles Bay, depending on the whether - a nice possible thread on this one).
What can I say. This is a dream set-up. Everything got measurably better when I moved to this set-up (I used to be a Buffer R-13 owner). Intonation, response, ergonomics, beauty, and tone-tone-tone. In spite of the fact that I am only a (albeint serious) amateur with the usual problems of endurance, muscular weakenesses and imperfect breath control, everybody (including professionals) have told me that my sound is beautiful. I consider that I shaved about 2 years of practice out of my sound development program.
This is a life time investment. It is not expensive.
