Thanks Robert! Glad someone likes it on this site! Jeez I spent a lot of time at California Institute of Technology so these are facts regarding air flow. You can't see hurricane winds, but the air always spins in the same direction. You kind of have to be smart to get into a school like this.

As the designer of the Grand Concert reeds 18 years ago I made the right side of the reeds a tiny bit lighter in measurement. Well they were a huge success. I left the company a long time ago, a year after designing these reeds and the reeds are not as good. Not even close to what I designed. I did this design because of mouthpiece embouchure pressure and wind flow. Same with the Mitchell Lurie reeds. When I joined Rico Mitchell was selling about 725,000 reeds a year. After I redesigned them and left Rico the sales jumped to over 1 1/2 million.

So folks do some research, become a shade open minded, try the mouthpieces for free, then express your opinions. But hold your thoughts until you try one! The mouthpieces are not new, just the name is. I've been doing this since 1984 under different names. La Vecchia rudely translates from the old to the new. Old being the old Kasper's and Chedeville's. These are not Chedevilles nor Kaspers, they are darker sounding. Since 1984 only 2 people have asked for their money back. 1 was a student. One of the mouthpieces I designed had the name Ciaccia on it. About 5 or 6 years it sold on ebay for $700. Another model was the one of the first 6 Gennusa mouthpiece that also had the name Ciaccia under Gennusa's name. I've seen these sell for $400 plus on ebay.

That's the short history of the mouthpieces. Bob
