Welcome to the forum.

You will probably get all kinds of advice for another mouthpiece, which will not make it more clear for you. Also, what works well for another might not work well for you.

Are you sure that the thinner high notes are caused by the mouthpiece? The player can do a lot about that also, for instance by trying to open your throat a bit more for that register. A change in reed (slightly harder or another brand) could also help and is cheaper to try out.

Another solution could be to ask a (good) refacer to lower the baffle of your current piece a bit. But you have to be careful with that, because it will alter your current (main) piece in an irreversible way!

 

I know i have to decide on my own but i would love to hear some ideas about mp's i've probably never heard of.

I've tried opening the throat etc. but it remains. It happens with my teacher as well. And I have tried lots of different reeds.

BTW i prefer metal for mouthpieces becouse it has a slightly slimmer shape.

 

As Mrpeebee says you could get all kinds of suggestions.
If you like Lebayle pieces, though, you could try his AT or the LR, which are a couple steps down on the brightness scale. I've played both, and while powerful I don't think they get thin.
Any place where you are where you could try mouthpieces?

 

For a Martin the Brilhart Ebolin and Tonalin are good choices.

If you want something brighter than that try a Meyer.

If you want something really bright and loud try a Dukoff D chamber.

 

I have seen a number of Lebayle pieces can benefit from correcting. Some have crooked facings and or poorly adjusted baffles.

 

I was going to say the same thing, but it's better coming from someone with more cred.
I've had a few Lebayle pieces in trade and they all had uneven tips or rails.
I've also heard some people sounding amazing on them so there must be good ones also.

I'm not trying to be snarky here, but are you sure it's the mouthpiece? Do you have or have you used other mouthpieces that weren't thin at the top? What reed strength do you use? Softer reeds will often fail at the top end of the instrument. I don't think anyone mouthpiece can do it all for a player, I think the player has to also learn to play each mouthpiece.

 

That's not snarky at all and i understand this question since i'm only on this forum since the last two days. I did not have this problem on a friends Vandoren V16 with Vandoren ZZ in strength 3. I also don't have this on my baritone. I am the first to admit i can certainly improve parts of my playing (like everyone i guess) but i think this one could be not only my "fault"

 

I know the saxofoonwinkel in Deventer. That's where i got my Baritone mp. Very friendly people but i'd like to get some advices before i go shopping.
