Rico Reserve X5 consistency

Author: Jim22  Date:   2014-07-06 06:04 I've been trialing mouthpieces for a while, mostly Vandoren, including a few of the series 13 ones. I currently have a standard 5RV Lyre, and a Rico Reserve X5. I have decided I prefer the X5. So here's the question: How consistent are the Rico Reserve's from sample to sample. The particular one I am playing is from a dealer demo kit, and is clearly marked "DEMO". I may be able to talk the dealer out of it, but is it likely to be a problem if I have to accept one of the retail boxed mouthpieces instead of the one I played? Will I need to play a retail model to make sure it plays the same? By the way, this one has a D for D'Addario instead of the R for Rico on it. It's a pretty low serial number. Just when I had it figured out... Jim C. CT, USA
