To be honest, we could sit down for a couple of days and discuss mouthpieces. There are so many to choose from that really, you could own one for every week of the year. I have tried at least 30 over the years. Everything from Classical mouthpieces like the Selmer C* to Vandoren Metal Mouthpieces with the strange V shaped baffle (excellent for Yamaha horns) to the Russeau JDX7 (excellent hard rubber mouthpiece) to the Dukoff which is what I use now.
