| I prefer both types, depending on the context. Audino's sound on the first 2 Tonight Show Band albums is perfect, while I still get a rush from listening the the Chase CD's, with him cutting through the band.
Larry, do you think mouthpiece diameter makes a difference in how your "lead" sound is, whether wide and fat like Audino et al, or a laser beam like Chase?
Only reason I mention this is that Audino played a Reeves 43N (Purviance 10), which is very close to a 3C diameter, while Bill Chase used a 6A4a (bent dime)
