Mike you are right, the Giorgianni 2000 is the ultimate high note dream. As a 42 years old lead player i beat them all with my Giorgianni ( i mean the other mouthpieces ).
Ken from Belgium (europe)

i play big mouthpieces because small mouthpieces don`t allow anywhere near as many overtones... it`s not something you can work up on a shallow mouthpieces because shallow mps will not allow it. also small mouthpieces have more resistance that isn`t good for your lips.

I`m a senior in High School and I use a 1C for playing solos and scream parts when needed. I find it wroks great, little extra effort to get the doubles but when they come out they come out crystal clear. You don`t get that on a cheater. plus the added range means I can play loud and with tone in the low register too. If you want overall good tone, then go for the 1C. Some people are just too eager to wait.

I wonder how many people have taken into consideration of dental structure. Havent any of you thought of how much of a difference that makes? Your thoughts please?

it makes a huge difference... i`ll explain after my gf leaves

Wow is she still not gone? Geez.... LOL jk.
