"What we haven't mentioned in this thread though is that their circumference is significantly smaller than Boehm, so you may find most ligatures we find in the states stop tightening before they even begin to grip on the German/Austrian mouthpieces."
Yes. Some of Ed Pillinger's mouthpieces are significantly narrower than what we're used to in the U.S., but not nearly as narrow as German system ones. I know the grooves are for string, but don't see why; the string is generally thinner than the grooves, and doesn't arrange itself to fit into the grooves anyway. The bumper I can see, but not the grooves. Anyway string works perfectly well on American style mouthpieces too, unless it's more slippery than the string they usually sell for mouthpieces.
