So, I just recently started messing around with an Antigua Winds soprano that I picked up locally (haven't played soprano in 20+ years, and even then hardly at all), and it came with a nice Runyon 6 mouthpiece. Well, I couldn't get the dang mouthpiece far enough on the cork no matter how much grease I used, so I diligently sanded down the cork bit by bit until.... SNAP, putting it on I cracked the flippin' mouthpiece right up the shank through the table to the window. This isn't the first time I've done this kind of thing to a mouthpiece, you'd think I'd learn!
Now, I didn't really want to spend much on soprano gear, as I play mostly tenor, a bit of bari, seldomly alto, and just now for giggles some soprano... I HAD less than 200 bucks into the whole soprano kit, and now I'm faced with spending some dough on a mouthpiece! I don't want to get complete crap, it would be a waste and put me off the little beast, but I don't want to spend any money - we just had twin girls for goodness sake.
Now that my self-rant is subsiding, anyone have any suggestions for a decent, all-around soprano mouthpiece on the cheap? Better yet, anyone want to sell me one?
