WOW !!! Once again a very simple question (post #1) turns into ... "something", I don't know what!

To the orgianl poster: Hey if your GR 'piece is working for you "great" stay with it. However a certain amout of experimentation is not a bad idea.

Sometime back I got to experimenting. Basicly tried several different manufacter's 'pieces, just all similar sizes. I sound like me regardless of the mpc, sad but true! I don't play my old Calicchio 1s-7 anymore,, but yes the Reeves worked very well on it, as well a few Marcikiewicz's, some Stork's ...

Bottom line: You should have the idea of how you want / need to sound in your head. Pick the mpc that helps you get that sound the easiest. Plus, two other factors ... (1) You need to hear your self as best you can, and (2) your sound needs to project.

Have Fun!
