I am willing to try this mouthpiece and lets see what happens........I hope this road is not as dangerous as the trumpet safari road is!
No surprise with the bigger throat - it makes the slots fuzzier. More body means more cup volume with a matching backbore. Opening the throat is generally not a good solution - it is just cheap and gives us something "modified" which is ALWAYS better (note: sarcasm here!).
