Generally, a little larger mouthpiece will yield a little fatter tone on a horn. A small mouthpiece yield a bit too much "Flutiness", I'll call it. The Farkas MDC is nearer the original Farkas style mouthpiece. I do not care for the Conn mouthpiece that comes with an 8D. It seems to me to be intended for weak student embouchures and does not have the capacity to make the horn sound full and rich. That's my two cents worth on the subject. I use an old Geyer pattern he made for me in 1948. Now, after having that one stolen, I use copies of that one rather than the original.
Am I OK to use the Holton? Is it some "special purpose" mouthpiece or is it
OK for me at this early stage of my development?
