Re: My old Gregory Smith mouthpiece

I didn't mean to suggest that the M30 was similar to a Greg Smith, but know how you felt about that mouthpiece would give me an idea about your preferred facing. I think the B40 asks for a bit more pressure on the reed than the M30 - the M30 encouraging a more lighter, open, embouchure. If you were comfortable with the M30 there are a couple of options with a similar "resistance profile" that I would suggest. I have to say, and I'm not alone in this, that I've found the tip opening on its own doesn't really give much info at ALL about how a player will like a mouthpiece.
