 Re: Finally, some information about Licostini mouthpiece models

I was in Howarths a few months ago and tried the few Licostinis they had in stock. The brass model was striking in its extra weight. I wouldn't say any of the ones they had were stuffy: I found the sound very clean, with the ability to focus down to a clear pp. I was sufficiently impressed by the RS to take it away on trial. In the end I sent it back. This was partly because it was too closed for me (1.00 mm tip is the claimed figure, although it felt bigger than that). Based on the Howarth descriptions, I'd be keen to get hold of an F5 (1.14 tip), but Howarths told me that it's very hard for them to extract stock from him. The other thing about the RS was the tuning. The bore was really strange, with a massive flare in the lower 1 cm so that the exit dimension was way larger than normal. I can't prove that this is why the throat notes were rather flat on it, but it seems plausible that the extra chamber volume would have that effect - you get a similar thing with the 13 series Vandorens.
