Ratio this, sulphur that....blah blah blah. It makes no major difference. Most vintage mouthpieces I have tried/own sound worse than an average Vandoren. Yes, I said AVERAGE. Our standards of workmanship are far better than the past. Most things in life in regards to this improve. I think people (mainly amatuers) get too wrapped up in the technical nonsense about products. The proof is to whether you have a good sound or not. The audience doesn't care if you are playing a Kasper or a Bundy mouthpiece. A good mouthpice makes playing easier. When music is all about the technique of how to make the music as oppsed to the music itself, why bother playing? You will sound like a robot. The worst thing anyone could say to me is that I sound cold or lifeless when I play. Marcellus played a Kasper because that was the best mouthpiece then. It isn't some magical end all be all product. He sounded great on a crystal too. The point is all the great players sound great because THEY are great. It isn't the mouthpiece How many times have you heard Harold Wright in an interview talk about the reason why his sound was so good was because of the sulphur content in his mouthpiece? BTW, this isn't a personal attack. This topic annoys me to a degree. Afterall, I am just a humble AF musician and serial orchestral gigger.
