I use this mouthpiece on my YFB 821, and I love the response. It is great for solo work, but I have a different mouthpiece for chamber work. The Alan Baer just does not blend well for small ensembles, but this might be just me. It could be either my playing, or my ear.
Plus
quick response
easily centered
good projection
minus
blending
pedal tones are tad tougher
I would buy the mouthpiece again.

I switched to this one from the PT-64.
I found that the Baer allowed me to play with a bit more aggressiveness. The response was also greatly enhanced.
On the minus side, I feel like the PT-64 had bit darker and bigger sound. With the Baer I have to work a bit harder to get my sound to be big and dark (which is how I like it, sometimes)
Those are my off the cuff responses. I'll pay more attention in my practice and maybe post more in a week or so.
