How do the playing characteristics of mouthpieces change as you lengthen the facing? For example, Clark Fobes makes several mouthpieces with a 1.04 tip opening in lengths ranging from 16mm (Cicero 13) to 19mm (Europa 2). I plan to make a little trip to woodwind and brasswind and try all of them to "feel" and "hear" for myself, but I'm curious what those different characteristics do in general. I've read Tom Ridenour's article on mouthpiece facings, but I'm still not clear on what might happen if you keep one variable static (such as the tip opening) and change the other.
