I just don't like the quality of manufactured mouthpieces. As Greg said in one of his poasts last week or so, Selmer is about the only manufacturer that cuts their blanks from rod rubber. Everyone else molds them. And then tey are machine faced. If you've ever held an old "Oval Stamp" Selmer and a modern Selmer, you can see and feel the difference without even playing it. If you play three of Clark's, Greg's, Jim's, Charlie's or Rick's mouthpieces next to three Vandorens or Selmers, 95% chances is, you'll be able to tell a difference in the way they sound and feel (especially being as advanced of a player as you are).
I have to admit i don't think even the Zinner blanks that most of the custom makers are using now are anything near the blanks that the world had back 20-60 years ago. But Zinner makes the best quality blanks available today.
