I love this video, you sound amazing! I discovered something recently: sometimes very old mouthpieces such as Chedevilles, Bettoneys, Roberts etc. With 100-year-old facings or so can work with with Legeres (with their original facings). I was very confused...of course, because these old facings don't work well with most modern reeds, and they need to be refaced. But (in a way) some Legeres are closer to reeds that were used in the 20's, 30's, 40's! And that's why they pair well with these old mouthpieces. And there may be some sort of link there...why Legere succeeded when so many others failed to produce high quality synthetic reeds. Maybe they turned to these old designs for inspiration...or it's convergent evolution (because it works!).
Suena muy bien, estás boquillas se pueden comprar en Europa?, por otra parte estoy de acuerdo con Dale fedele, con kaspar y chedeville antiguas funciona muy bien legere
Super video! Possibly the black mouthpiece has slightly more "depth" to the tone, it sounds more "refined", I think, maybe more classical than jazz. Did you try it with a strength 4 reed and if so, was that an improvement as you suspected it could be? Thanks for the video!!
Bravo! I like the polycarbonate better. More volume, projection and thick sound to my hears. I wonder if it perform the same also on traditional (cane) reed. Kind regards
A lot of respect for people that learn and make their own mouthpieces (among other things), and not only the major manufacturers. Synthetic reeds usually have not so consistent and full upper register. At least for me. Now, about this tryout, are the mouthpiece measures the indicated for the reed that you tried? Simply put: is that the right mouthpiece for that reed? It didn't seem to be, so how can you tell if the trial went ok?

I love the tone of your altisimos
I like Vandoren BD mouthpieces with synthetic reeds; they work really well on Kanter too.
I like the 2nd one
Sounds super swell

Hello! Wow those mouthpieces sound really good!! I will consider getting one.
Is that a festival buffet ? Sounds great , I mean you sound great😊
Hello, could you tell me how it cost and where can we buy in Israel thanks.
Nice sound !
I think too that the black mouth piece sounded slightly better and No, you shouldn't quit playing :)
Hello very nice. I would like to order one but the website of Eddie is in hebrew. I’m French and I can’t read it and can’t find where to order it...
This sounds great but still not as good as a great cane reed. Overtones a the woody meat to the tone is just not there. Still very good.
I don't like the sound of plastic reeds, lifeless compared to cane..
