Hello!

If I remember correctly, the megatone has a #26 throat, vs. the standard #27. So it's a bit more open-blowing, but not much.

The extra weight gives a little more "girth" to the sound. However, there are many times when I've been mouthpiece shopping with a student and we decide against the megatone. Sometimes it just doesn't fit the player, when a standard weight fills the bill nicely.

YMMV

Cheers!
