I, also, know that some people choose different mouthpieces for different pieces that they are playing on, while others stick with the same mouthpiece all the time. What are your thoughts on changing mouthpieces? Sometimes I don't notice that much of a difference between different size mouthpieces other than comfort. Thoughts?
Thanks for all that you do...

Lots of reasons could cause this, but whenever it's a tonguing issue, I usally look to the rim first. The 1B rim is very round and you may not be getting enough grip at the bite. Something to think about until Manny gets here anyway...
