Re: ESM MCK1 mouthpiece

I have not played the VD version but I am familiar with the M15. That one is ok if you take in enough mouthpiece. You really have to snug up to the point where reed and mouthpiece come together with that one. If you pass that point all you get is a guttural squawk! But stay close.

Still, the facing is little too close for my taste.

I think the MCK-1 is closest to a Vandoren M13, but I just like the MCK-1 a lot better.

Your teacher may just want you to experience the full range of what cane can do. The bottom line with Legere is that you do lose just a little of the impact of the low chalumeau and the really crisp upper partials of the clarion............but they are so close now (particularly the European Signatures) that one can easily play them professionally (as many do) with no discernible loss of performance.
