John,
My first trumpet, a Getzen, had the problem you describe. The mouth piece would wiggle in the receiver because the mouth piece was a few .001's of an inch too long. It was a little uncomfortable. Since then I check mouth piece fit when playing new horns.
I think I will work on the "ball bearing supported rotatable mouth piece receiver" patent starting next week. It will make asymetric mouthpieces easier to fit.
