 Re: What can physically be done to a mouthpiece that plays high?

Anything you do to the mouthpiece to lower the pitch will change the sound, so, if you really like this mouthpiece, change the barrel instead.
One thing that I notice is that you are playing on an M13 Lyre mouthpiece. These generally tend to be lower than most to begin with, due to a large bore and a deep baffle. The three things I would start with if I were trying to lower the pitch on a mouthpiece would be to enlarge the bore deepen the baffle, and widen the chamber. The third thing would be to extend the length of the bore. Again, the bore length on all of the 13 series Vandoren mouthpieces I've tried is sufficient.
Chris J. has the right idea- if there is a problem with the set-up, it is probably not the Vandoren mouthpiece.
