Hi Guys

Thanks for the mouthpiece comparison chart Jim. Impressive!

Diz, I thought that it was roughly equiviilent to about a 7 or a little higher. Im not getting this piece to further develop my embouchure (as its pretty developed) but rather for the sound and availibillity of the high notes.

Van, I have not had the pleasure of trying an Asymetric mouthpiece yet, but I thouroughly researched this little marvel from John Lynch, and it sound very impressive on his site. I'm curious if I could adapt to the oval shape. How was your assimlation???

You know something thought guys? I'm really thinking about getting a Monette STC-B4. I know thats equal to my Bach 1c in terms of cup size. But $200 is a bit stiff for a mouthpiece. Anyone played this piece??? Is constant pitch center what they say it is?

Unfortunatly I live in a small city of only 300,000 people and the store I deal with which can order Monette is unwilling to order one just for me to try.

I hear that the constant pitch center is quite an improivement over conventional mouthpieces.Thoughts?
