Are metal Beechlers flexible in terms of tone? I'm looking for a new mouthpiece since my Vandoren A45 closes up on my too much but the old standard Meyer 5M doesn't seem to cut it. I'm looking for for a nice, cutting sound that can kick some major *** if I push it but can easily blend when I need to. Something like this:

What kind of Vandoren do you have? Have you tried harder reeds or trimming your reeds up to help with the closing off?

I have a V5 Jazz A45, I use Java 3's.

I find Bellites hard work.Vandoren jumbo javas rock for me on alto,great sound and ease of blowing.

If the Meyer 5M doesn't cut it maybe try a more open Meyer like a 7M. And maybe try the small chamber version for a little more edge.

I just sent a Beechler Belite 6 back. My lackey 5.3 sounds alot more like that guy in the video. Bright but nice core. The Belite was too closed off for me. I think the one piece I would "jones " after is a Durga but who has 645 lying around. ? K
