Re: Eddie Daniels mouthpiece?

I bought one a few months ago. I had been playing on a old Bay MO-M for years. I ordered several different brands to try. It was about the 3rd one I played and I knew it was THE ONE. I was surprised it worked so much better for me than what I was used to. I didn't even have to get used to it. The sound was really good. I play primarily classical music and I can tongue so much better it was scary. I felt like I really had to work to cleanly play certain pieces. With this mouthpiece music just seemed to happen. I did find that the 3.5 56 Rue Lepic Vandoren reeds work best (they look and play a lot like the old Morre reeds I used to use) I tried all three strengths with this and the 3 will close up a little and the 4's are just a little air-ish, but I guess you could adjust them down if necessary. This mouthpiece blew much freer, but never out of control. The internals just happen. This is by far the best mouthpiece I have ever played on.

It would be well worth your time to try it out. Everybody's different, but I will recommend it to my students.
