Hi Miles, Hi Miles just a suggestion, maybe when you’re editing the videos you can check the volume on the voice versus the volume on the transition music because it’s way off and sometimes uncomfortable. Thanks

Testing a mouthpiece with bad technique isn't a great measure. We want to encourage good technique not accommodate, and thus encourage poor habits. For me the Yamaha is the "best of the bad mouthpieces". The Fobes is my go to, but when I can I also have a student try the Overture. For some students the Overture produces a more colorful sound, but most are as good or better on the Fobes. I have not yet had the opportunity to work with the Alpha.
