I've played a few mouthpieces in my time and as long as I get the right reed strength to match the tip opening I can usually play it okay. Big chambers and small baffles usually take more air (so less resitance) but there's not much else I notice. As long as the reed matches, it's okay.
I've read a few posts here about people saying they prefer an 8 tip over a 7* (or things similar)) and was wondering what such a small difference (5 thousandths of an inch) really makes.
Is the tip opening really that critical for any given mouthpiece of the same type?
