To all Wick euphonium "AL" series mouthpiece users:
A reputable Wick representative has said that the "The 4AL was highly suggested for Euphonium prior to specifically made Euphonium mpcs being designed." He also said that the "SM" series mpcs were designed for conical bore instruments whereas the "AL" series were designed for cylindrical bore instruments like trombone.
In light of the above information, it would seem that the "SM" series would be more suitable for our euphs than the "AL" series. But I know several of you play and love the "AL" mpcs. So my question is: Have you tried the "SM" series, and if so, why do you prefer the "AL"?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
