This mouthpiece was quite interesting when I first played it- the centre felt pretty different from the Bachs I'm used to, but overtime I grew into it. Definitely makes everything from the extreme low to extreme high quite easy, without the loss of any tone quality or volume. The response is a little different but you really do get used to this. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a small shank bone mouthpiece on the larger side, as it definitely lets you achieve that big, dark warm sound as well as a brighter sound when pushed, and has a large, comfy rim.
