Sorry about the delay here – I was on tour in Europe for about a month and due to some delayed flights I wasn’t able to get my hands on the mouthpiece until yesterday . I haven’t had much chance to play it yet, but my initial reaction is just that it’s incredibly easy to play! The timbre is so flexible that it feels like I can really play any kind of music with this mouthpiece. I’ve mostly been playing mouthpieces that had a fairly defined tone, so this new flexibility is really great. Thank you again for all your help with this. Please let me know if you’re ever in Japan and hopefully we can work something out.
