PrezFan: There are differing opinions about what you stated as fact. I'm of the opinion that a mouthpiece's material matters NOT as to the way it plays OR for what kind of music it is best suited.
The black spots are bite-plates affixed by certain manufacturers - certainly not an indicator of what kind of music to play with it.
And, while some contend that one needs a certain mouthpiece to play certain kinds of music, I disagree, but will defer to those who think otherwise. If someone thinks they need a classical mouthpiece to play classical music, who am I to question it?
On the other hand, I don't know any real players who think one needs a "jazz" mouthpiece to play jazz. DAVE
