Re: vandoren 5JB mouthpiece

I have a good friend playing a Leblanc Pete Fountain with a 5JB, and man can he play out. When I tried it, it felt really akward (I am not that much of a jazz guy, really more into chamber and classical stuff). A .590" bore with a big chamber open tip mouthpiece is unfocused like none other, but it's warm and jazzy with some unreal projection, if you can fill the thing up. It really felt more like an alto clarinet (which I do play a fair bit) or even an alto sax than a clarinet in the air required to play. When I play (or try to anyway) a jazz piece I usually use a Selmer C95 with my 10G, which works really well for me anyway. If you are into softer reeds and a lot of projection and really don't care much about focus I think you would love it.
