I have to agree with those who give the advice to buy from one of the great mouthpiece makers of today. I own 2 Kaspars, one a Cicero and and Ann Arbor. I love them both. HOWEVER, they were both refaced by my friend, Everett Matson, so I always tell people that I play a Matson, despite having two "Kaspars". Matt worked on them for me and made them play the way I wanted, something that all the above fine craftsmen do today.
I do agree that the Cicero is a little sharp, compared to all others on my collection. I don't know why this is, but a friend I play with plays a Fobes "Kaspar" and it, too plays a little high. This is not a deal-breaker, but should be taken into account when choosing.
My favorite? The Ann Arbor. I don't care that the Cicero is more "prestigious", the Ann Arbor has more color, for me.
Your mileage, of course, may vary.

Best Wishes,
Roy Gussman
