I want a new mouthpiece

Author: MoonPatrol

My mouthpiece is now a Vandoren M30, and before that it was the M13, and the Gigliotti P34. I have used a Ridenour but don't know the model, and have a B45 that I'm not using. The M30 has the best tip opening and facing for me right now with a Rico GCS 3.5, but I just don't like the sound from my Vandoren. SO I'm using that geometry to search for a new mouthpiece and has anyone heard of the Jody jazz #3? I may like it just because its deep-red color, but I really want to get an easy blowing piece that can take a hard reed so I can sail in the altissimo and not get dizzy everywhere else. I played a lot with the Giliottti with a #3 Rico GCS, and it is too soft a reed, but that is a stuffy mouthpiece! I like the sound I got with my Ridenour, kind of bright, but still even. I just can't get a hard reed to work with the Ridenour or the Gigliotti. I am safe with the M30 and can survive a while, but still don't like my bony treble sound and need to evolve.
