Referring to Vandoren, it is probably just my view (hopefully not), that there is a certain gap in the mouthpiece chart, according to tip opening/facing. There are certain combinations, varying in these parametres relation. However, there isn't one that fills in the gap in between the 1.10-1.20mm tip and a MediumLong facing. The closest in both ends are: BD5 (1.13mm/M facing) and B40 (1,19mm/ML). Both are excellent mpcs. I play the B40, very nice mouthpiece, a little too open for me, and a little brighter and rougher. Never played the BD5, from what I've read and heard, a pefect mpc., but with a little more coveredness and resistence than needed.
So, my presumption and proposal is a new mouthpiece: 1,15mm tip/wide rail/deep chamber/ML facing.
I already wrote to Vandoren, still no answer. Hope that more people embrace the idea, and maybe a new mouthpiece emerges.
Regards!
