The discussions of what mouthpiece is "best" are pretty fruitless. I'm wondering if we could collect some guidelines of which mouthpieces are just not good choices for certain saxes due to design incompatibilities. I think this comes up most often with vintage saxes (but maybe not exclusively?) I'm particularly interested because of my Bueschers and Conns - from New Wonder alto and TT soprano to 140, 156, and Conn 6M. I'm supposing that the most obvious sign of incompatibility is poor intonation; are there other mismatch pitfalls out there as well?
For the mouthpiece illiterate among us (myself included), it would be helpful to give some brand/model examples rather than just say "large chamber mouthpieces" - I hear terms like that but don't really know which models that applies to. Thanks in advance for the input!
