Thoughts on Mouthpiece

Author: concertmaster3  Date:   2010-02-05 16:31 Hi. I'm currently using a Genussa Excellente GE* mouthpiece with V12 #4 reeds on my Bb and A clarinets and a Vandoren 5rv with Bb V12s (cut down) on Eb. I'm starting to prefer the response I get on articulation with the Eb over the Bb/A. To anyone that plays a 5rv on Eb, do you have a reference to a similar sound/response on Bb? I was looking into the M13, M15 or 5rv on Bb/A to be more specific, but any other ideas are accepted. I guess the main purpose for the question is to have a good idea of what I'm looking for before I go try a bunch of mouthpieces. Thanks! Edit to add: GE* - medium facing (1.02 - 1.06 mm tip opening) just in case anyone was wondering about that.
