Question: Changing Mouth piece

I have a guestion about changing mouth pieces. I have been using a mouth piece that has been quite satisfactory. I have been using this mp for over a year now. I have been working to play higher . I have a solid B above staff and can hit F sharp when I am strong.
Three days ago I started using a Monett BL Mp. When I first used the Monett I effortlessly reached E above high C. I was, needless to say quite elated. I brought the Monett home to see if I really would be satisfied with it.
The most amazing thing has happened. I now am now only able to hit high C and even then it blows out.
I like the feel of the mp and I like the sound. I really do not notice any difference while playing in the lower register.
Is this a normal situation one encounters when changing mouth pieces .
Any Information concerning this situation would be appreciated
Jim
