I've said this before, but I like Bach mouthpieces.

go for a Bach 6 1/2 AL small shank mouthpeice. they are very popular and work great.

i have a bach 5g megatone right now and i like it but it has it's own problems. it dosn't resignate like a mouthpiece should. it is way too thick and heavy. it takes alot more work. not to mention it rusts really easy for some odd reason. I've heard from other players that a wick is a great mouthpiece. i'll see if i can find one and try it out on my horn. thanks

It all depends on the style and sound you are after. In the end, the only thing that matters is how you like it and whether or not you can get your desired sound out of it.

I do use a Wick on my small bore, but I only play it about... Um... Well, I haven't used it for about 9 or 10 months. And before that, well, maybe once a year I'll pull it out.

Pretty much all my playing these days is on my Edwards, with which I use a Griego 3. I love it, if you are after a great classical sound, you should check them out. Also check out Greg Black, specifically the Alessi line. Great pieces.

Again, there are LOTS of piece choices out there. You just have to be patient, do your research, and find one that you like.
