My Backun Mouthpiece Impressions

Hey guys,

just wanted to share my experience with these Mpcs. Unfortunately WWBW only had the Camereta 0.99 and the Tradicional 1.06..

First one I played was the Traditional with 3 and 1/2 reeds and amazingly the seemed much harder then when on the M30 which has 1.15 tip opening. Stability of this mouthpiece is astounding, intervals are much easier to play and the biggest thing I noticed was articulation. It is so much easier to tongue on this mouthpiece. I felt more secure on this mouthpiece than my M30 and played a jury on a few days later. This mouthpiece also has a lot of hold.

I played the camereta with size 4 reeds. This MPC was way too closed for me and all reeds seemed harder on this MPC compared to an M15 1.03.

Im very very very impressed with these but the only downside I can think of is pitch... althouh very consistent its on the high side. Maybe this is a isolated problem with the models I received but I don't know.

It's still not worth 500$ though =D
