That from the guy that has 105 mouthpieces
.
I've mentioned elsewhere that the main reason I gave up clarinet was because the mouthpiece made it way difficult to play. When I was essentially forced to take up clarinet again, a couple years later, the horn I had had an older Vandoren mouthpiece in the case that played really nice. Made me
want to play.
That's a positive side.
However, I tend to think that you should learn to love the one you're with. I've changed a lot of makes and models of sax, but I stuck with my Rascher mouthpiece. In all but one instance, I was able to adapt just fine. (The one instance was my Buffet Dynaction alto which just played better with a Selmer LT.)
Hey! I'm an Admin! I can ask side questions!
What do you specifically look for in a mouthpiece? In my clarinet example, I was looking for something that wasn't so annoyingly resistant, like I had to battle the thing when I played. I traded the Vandoren (B40, I think) for a Selmer C85/120 because THAT was less resistant (on any horn I've ever played, actually). In the case of my switch to the Selmer LT for the Dynaction, it was because I had to work too hard for both getting the horn to play in tune and the Rascher was too resistant. (I used the LT because ... well, it was in the case with the horn when I got it.)
