To sort of come back to the original question by Brenda. I don't know much about mouthpieces, but I know a few people that do and they all have very different views.
Here are a few examples of professional players I know. I will not give names.
One has played Vandoren mouthpieces all his life, tries many plays the one he likes.
One has been playing the same beloved Ched all his life.
One owns 50+ mouthpieces, plays a vandoren although misses a beloved Kaspar which has been now refaced too many times.
One owns 50+ mouthpieces, including some great vintage but prefers to play modern hand made for his needs mouthpieces.
My point is that every professional player I have met has a different story with regards to mouthpieces. Some advocate the vintage holy grail, some advertise one to one custom work with contemporary mouthpiece makers and some find in machine made mouthpieces qualities that they feel are missing in handmade ones. Looking at the community of professional players as a whole, it is my intuition that no correlation can be made between mouthpiece prominence and factors such as modern, old, machine made or man made. If anything, machine made Vandoren mouthpieces with no custom work prevail among the professional comunity.
FYI, I am not a professional player, I own 5 mouthpieces and the one I currently use is not a VD.
