So I guess since the first batch of these mouthpieces arrived the US, a lot of you guys have ordered them.. (they are available at DANSR). I saw at least David B ordered some So what's everyone opinion so far?

Not for me - returned.
When I experiment with a lesser cost mouthpiece like that (though the early batch cost $140, so not so cheap), it's to find a low cost decently high level mouthpiece for my students to select from to try different models, and facings.
I didn't like it enough to even make it that.
Though that's entirely meaningless, as someone else might love it. I like the M Series better.

thanks David. Yeah I agree that mouthpiece is such a personal thing.. I think one can be "molded" into liking playing a certain kind of mouthpiece when he first starts playing. But then after several years it will be hard to change to a different "kind"!
by the way, they are still $140.. unless someone has another source of where it is being sold. It still may be the first batch I think.
I personally haven't ordered any... my teacher and I are waiting for WWBW or Weiner to eventually get them and sell at a lower price

I recently tried 4 of each facing (CL4 and CL5)...I preferred the CL4, it was very responsive and had a lot of "ring" in the sound...but it's not pitched at 440, so I didn't end up purchasing one...maybe eventually if they come out with an 13 series model.

Just curious as to what determines how a mp is pitched, is it smaller, shorter
inside or outside or combo of all these?

it's definitely a combo.. i have a couple of mouthpieces with the same length yet play at different pitch.
but making it shorter will bring up the pitch. i have a friend who had his mouthpiece shortened by his tech (by cutting off 1mm) and it did bring up the pitch.
