King 606- bach 6 1/2 al
Bach 42- Stomvi 5a ( similar to bach 5)
Yamaha ybl322- I only recently started playing bass so until I know what I want, I have a unmarked chinese mp which I think is a dennis wick copy
Are these the perfect mouthpieces? No, but they get the job done and I can't afford to go on a wild goose chase looking for the perfect piece. And in the end, I think it's more important to work on improving your playing then to obbsess over gear.

Nah, I'm definitely not lol. I tried summing up my imagined intentions of such a statement in one word. I'm not sure why someone would bother writing that.
Knowing what mouthpieces work well with altos is important information for people trying to get into it.

The very epitome of vanilla conventionality:
small tenor - 7C
large tenor - 5GS
bass - 2G

If I ever have the money to buy a bass, I want to sound exactly like Don Harwood.

One of the greatest players ever. Such a unique sound and yet so perfect in that section.
