AT4 vs Other Geib-Style Mouthpieces

Post by Peach »

For any of you Geib mouthpiece users, have you compared the Wick-Tindall AT4 against other longer established Geib mouthpieces? For example Stofer, Schilke, Laskey, etc.

Thanks,
MP

I should add...
You may think, being in England, the place would be awash with these things. Well, it isn't! :D

A4 has a fat round rim, vs sharp narrow for others

Not sure, then!

A few years ago, I thought it would be cool to gather as many Geib mouthpieces as possible, map the contours, and compare them.

A fun project, but for another person or another time!

I don't know that I care about Geib mouthpieces, but mapping the contours of mouthpieces, now you're talking. Maybe a studio project. Someone (institution), that 1) has access to the equipment and 2) is in a position to stay with it for the long term, so it isn't just about whatever mouthpieces were hot in 2018.
