Seabreeze, good question. These are good mouthpieces. I bought only one and the tip opening is about 1.20 or so. I can't play on something this open, but another great player is using this with the Chicago Sym I don't want to say who it is.

It won't play the same if I close it down to 1.07 or so, which I play on as a double lip player. However, when I played it it filled the hall well. I used a 3 strength Steuer reed which have a lot of wood in them. It works. I's also not rubber. I'm not sure what the material is. Now Vandoren has to make the same mouthpiece with a 1.07 tip for the average players and they will have something special. Then they can retire the M series.

Amother issue I have with all of the M series mouthpieces is the rubber shrinks too much, so finding 2 that play the same is like finding 2 twin clarinetists in the same orchestra. The rubber shrinks between 20 to 30 percent. Leave them in the car on a hot day and you will be looking for a new mouthpiece.
