I've got one very similar, plays great. I don't know if the facing is particularly short, but I do notice the beak angle is steeper than my Meyer and Otto Link pieces. It takes me about 5 minutes to get accustomed to it when I first start playing.
I noticed that too, but I don't find it uncomfortable. For some reason it allows me to relax my embouchure which for me on tenor is always a good thing. I can't wait to try this out. I debated buying the last one in stock in case through the luck of the draw I get a lemon. I decided with everything else going on not to. I can always find someone to correct the facing if it is too wonky.
I don't really like short or medium short facing mouthpieces. For me at least they are a lot more work. Since I don't spend a lot of time shredding altissimo I prefer a piece that slightly favors the lower register or at least is balanced. I just purchased a Brilhart Special Ebolin (see this thread) and it is now my main piece except when I'm playing classical. I really wish I knew how much Brilharts were going to agree with me 10-20 years ago when you could get them for a song, but I guess it's better late than never.
I think I just bought the last one!
Thanks for the heads up, at that price I couldn't pass it up. I need something to motivate me to play my tenor more often. Otherwise, I've been thinking of selling it.
Fluffy? Now there's a new thread starter....
Congrats! Let me know what you think when you get it. I didn't pay for expedited shipping so it'll probably be a week before I have it.I think I just bought the last one!
It appears that they are just acting as a pass-through for Brook Mays.
That's something new to me. I didn't know that Walmart was using the Amazon strategy of selling for other purveyors. What's next, Alibaba?
Yeah, I figured it out about a year ago during an internet search. The Walmart ad would be right next to the Amazon and eBay ads. And the world keeps turning....
Well, here's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking that I might not get this mouthpiece. I'm thinking, they may not have any left at this point. I'm thinking that's why they shipped me a Selmer Goldentone instead. I was all excited when I found a package in my mailbox this afternoon, wow, what a quick delivery! And low and behold, it's the wrong piece. Well, we'll see where this leads to. Let me know how you make out.
Oh crap. That's disappointing. The same thing happened to me with an eBay seller and I returned the mouthpiece for a refund. What's with this for substituting a Goldentone for an Ebolin. Arrrrrgh.Well, here's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking that I might not get this mouthpiece. I'm thinking, they may not have any left at this point.

Man, that sucks. No excuse for that at all without having asked you first if you wanted it. A terrible business practice for sure.Well, here's what I'm thinking.
