I have the blokepiece #1. I like it for my Boosey F. But it is not at all a small diameter mouthpiece.

Question,
When you say smaller, do you mean diameter or do mean shallower/tighter?

I've been enjoying the Laskey 28F lately. I think the smaller diameter helps focus the sound a bit.
But I mainly use a mouthpiece that I had made at Dillon's based on a very old Miraphone Eb MP. NOT the Eb/F, just marked Eb.
It's a gem.
