I recently ordered the Jens "Special" after re-reading his rant on mouthpieces and the benefits of playing more efficient gear. As the mouthpiece I currently play on is about a 5 rim, I figured, "why not?"

All I can say is, WOW!!! I received the mouthpiece on Friday and decided to give it a trial by fire. I played it for a musical on Friday night (literally, right out of the box), Saturday with a 30 piece orchestra, and this morning with a brass trio.

This mouthpiece made ALL of it easier. I realize that it may not be for everyone, but I believe it is for me. The sound is even across the entire range of the horn, and it is REALLY comfortable. Of course, Peter's design and finishing work is second to none.

If you pay a 5ish rim, and just looking for something better, give this a try. If only I could play like Jens.

Thanks, Peter.
