Why is it important? Play on what works for you. A lot of guys play/played on a plain old 3C or 1 1/2C or their equivalent in another brand. My band director doesn't even know what mouthpiece he plays on. He doesn't pay attention to all the gearhead bullcrap that a bunch of people get into. A mouthpice really won't be as important as time spent in the practice room. I myself went through a lot of mouthpieces, only to end up on what I started out on, a 3C. One of my friends plays lead on a 1 1/4C and he sounds great. So I don't see why there's all this hype over mouthpieces. Okay, I'll stop ranting now.
