Charles Bay vs Vandoren

Author: ?

Not satisfied with my Vandoren B45 mouthpiece I decided to try something else and ended up bringing home a couple of Vandoren B40 and two different kinds of Charles Bay mouthpieces: One that�s marked "Nuance" (MO-L) and the other one is browncoloured (also MO-L). I found that the Bay mouthpieces gave a "darker" sound than the Vandorens and I liked the tone of the brown mouthpiece more than the Nuance.
I could use some advice....anybody has any opinion of the Bay mouthpieces compared to the Vandorens? After all, the Vandoren B40 is more common (why?) and the Bay mouthpieces are more than twice the price. Do you also have the impression that the Charles Bay give a softer, darker tone?
