 i have just purchased a Pete Fountain Lablanc model.  I'm looking for a mouthpiece for it.  a friend suggested that i buy a crystal mp for it.  i would like input about the Pomarico, pete fountain or the bay.  Also how does one pick between a MO-M M-M MOL or a O_L. 
Thanks

 Just get this Fountain from E-Bay today? Look in classifieds for a crystal mouthpiece. Congrats!

 Best advice for you is just to go try them.  
 
I've tried the Pete Fountain and Pomarico crystal mouthpieces. I like them both except for this one fact: I could not play loudly enough to satisfy myself or my teacher (who plays an old GG crystal) or my conductors. Crystals give a good tone, but I find them only useful in chamber music. 
 
Happy hunting.
