RPC 115B vs. Lamberson 7DD
I am an intermediate player looking to buy a new mouthpiece. I play in a classic rock band and we cover 60s/70s rock and blues tunes. We are also working on a classic rock inspired album. I own a 48' The Martin tenor, and I am about to buy an RPC 115B. I have talked to Ron on the phone, and read some things about his work on here. He recommended the 115B for the style of music I play.
One of my favorite players (Steve Beighton) has a sound that I really enjoy, and I believe he plays on a Lamberson 7DD. Here is a clip of him:

The RPC's are a bit cheaper and less wait time, and I am leaning toward one - I just want to make sure I am making the right decision and don't regret not spending the extra money and getting the 7DD.
Thoughts?

I haven't tried enough mouthpieces to know what is too 'open' for me. Can you help clarify that a little more?Nefertiti said:I played both of these for awhile. I found the tones of both piece to be similar. The Lamberson was brighter for me but felt more comfortable to play. The RPC played great and I really liked it but it felt too open for my tastes. If you are use to that 115 tip size the RPC will give you a sound like that I think.. I have a JVW link with a baffle that I use for that kind of stuff now. Good Luck. I have some clips on my site if you want to check them out. The live clips are more of that style I think. The video clip is with the 7DD also. Steve
Thanks,

After listening to some clips and talking to Ron, I took the plunge and went for an RPC 115B!
