Try the Meyer rubber M5,,I find it the best Mp I have tryed....

I actually suggest that you not waste any time with any of those pieces. If you are willing to shell out a good amount of cash, I recomend you get a piece from Fred Rast. All his pieces are custom, handcrafted pieces. He makes pieces that, when you compare them to vintage Otto Links (both rubber and metal), his out play the vintage piece. He also does a lot of work on vintage Selmer Soloists, and makes pieces similar but better than Meyer New Yorks, and tons more. He just recently did work on a Selmer Soloist for Kenny Garrett and has been the choice of a lot of top cats. I play a hard rubber piece of his on alto (it compares to the Meyer New York, but plays far better). On tenor, I used to play a piece he did similar to a vintage hard rubber Otto Link, but just recently started playing a metal Otto Link he worked on. I am extremely satisfied with ALL of the pieces. I cannot find a piece that comes anywhere near the quality of Fred Rast. For the quality, the price of his pieces are a real steal. His website is www.rastmusic.com He doesnt have much on it, but you'll find a means of contacting him on there. PS - I noticed you mentioned the Phil Barone pieces. I think Fred Rast's are somehwere around that price. If you do decide to give him a try, I am sure he will also be able to recomend the reeds that play best with the particular mouthpiece you purchase.
