Hi,
Looking for some mouthpiece advice. I want to get a new alto piece or two.
I will be ordering from overseas (the US) as prices locally (australia) are a good 50% higher, sometimes more. To complicate things further the Vandoren mouthpieces are out of stock at my local store and the Super Sessions are a bit thin on the ground too.
I recently tried a friends Berg Larsen 95/M/1 and really liked it. So I'd like to use that as a base for comparison. I'd like to get peoples comparisons of this mouthpiece to a Java and Jumbo Java in an A55, and a Selmer Super Session in an F.
Firstly, out of the Java and the Jumbo Java, which would be most similiar sounding to the Berg in a 1 chamber? I get the impression from the manufacturers websites that maybe the Java will be darker and the Jumbo brighter, but I'd like to hear from someone with first hand experience.
Secondly, how does the Super Session compare to the Berg - I played a Super Session on Sop for a while, and while it was a bit bright on Sop, something similiar would probably suit me on alto.
I'm mainly leaning towards picking up the Berg, however they seem a bit harder to source than the Vandorens and the Selmers.
Thanks
Tim
