Re: Unidentified Mouthpiece

I realy like crystal mouthpieces and specially this one!
One realy interesting fact that I see with Crystal Mouthpieces is that actually I see a realy important fact about the material that the mouthpiece is made of...
My teachers play in a Vandoren A3 crystal mouthpiece since like 20 years ago, they buy them when they were in Moscow studiying...and I remember that they always told me that when you play with crystal the sound really changes and they told me this "When yoy play with crystal it gets more warm than the regular Ebonite mouthpieces, and when you warm up you can notice that the mouthpiece is more warm than the regular Ebonite so is more easy to get this beautiful sound and will last longer to get cold...the problem is that the crystal takes longer to warm up but it last longer to get cold"
So actually it exist a scientific fact about the differences between Ebonite and Crystal.
That is the opinion of my teachers and they realy have alot of experience.
