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...

There's too much subjective labeling in your post for me to really understand what you need as far as a cogent opinion is concerned. "Easier", "better 'tonguing'"... I don't know what you're really asking. If it sounds good and it's easier, then the answer seems obvious, so, you must be asking something else. Sorry.
I don't like to change mouthpieces a whole lot, to tell you the truth unless I'm going to a D, Eb, or piccolo. It's just a lot of bother, otherwise, and I'd rather keep my sanity, what's left of it.
