It was with great expectation that I ordered up the "new" Chedeville mouthpiece - a type 3, medium tip and lay, and a type 4, the more closed tip with medium lay. Boy, was I dissapointed! For me, they played like mouthpieces made of playdough. Totally dead and unresponsive. I was able to return the type 3, to help dissapoint someone else, unfortunately I still have the type 4 - due to neglecting the time-frame and missing my deadline for returns. I made contact with several reknown mouthpiece artists, who universally refused any opportunity to work on them - all calling them unworkable pieces. So, there I am - holding a very bad opinion of the "new" Chedeville. Maybe they live up to their own press, and have great rubber, but seems they don't yet know all that much of what the original artists knew about making an artisan piece.
