Author: Bob Bernardo  Date:   2020-02-03 10:46 nellsonic - I won't put down mouthpiece makers. After all they try to keep prices low. Some of the tip openings are way off. This bothers me because some of the true tip opening are too open for students. This can cause sore and even bloody lips wrecking the excitement students have for the love of music. However, teachers as well as yourself should do your homework and figure out what you prefer and would not recommend! I really like how DAN took the time to post this important thread. Go buy the Babbitt glass, feeler gauges, and the tip measurement gauge. You will learn a lot and become educated with assorted products. Then play test these mouthpieces so you don't have to make weird comments like you just did. I surely don't mind your comment directed to me, because it allows me to go into greater details. Moreover, try to be a bit careful with your wording; be polite! I'll gladly offer advice and opinions and as a lot of readers know they can email me. You should too if you have questions or a problem with someones post! Cheers! Decided to edit this and apply more information and personally give you Babbitt's address, just for you nellsonic and try to help you. Hope this helps you and others who are interested as well. By the way Babbitt also makes student mouthpieces for the clarinet as well as the saxes. I'm not promoting anyone or any company, because mouthpiece choices should be based on personal opinions. As we know everyone has their own ideas and what I say doesn't matter. If it did everyone would play on the exact same student mouthpiece and all of the other companies would be out of business.
