A Fobes Europa 4 is one of my backup as it takes similar reeds to the ART and has a somewhat darker, less focused sound. It is also a great mouthpiece, but is very free-blowing and feels much more open than it is (1.12 x 19). I would use it for a more German/Viennese sound when playing Brahms, etc.

The MOBAs and Fobes are (mostly) Zinner-based so I’m investigating non-Zinner pieces in case they’re no longer available. I have an ESM RCR3 (1.19 x 17.5) which sounds like it should be similar to a B40. The ESM mouthpieces are made of Acrylic (which ESM claims sounds better than rubber) and are completely fabricated by CNC machines. I think Paul was impressed by the MCK1 facing, so I’m hoping the RCR3 will work for me. I’ll post a review when it comes in.
