Here is a new mouthpiece comparison I just did, doing A/B comparisons of 5G mouthpieces. Does Lexan make a difference in sound compared to brass? See what you think!

Given the somewhat limited ability of my PC audio, I couldn't hear any real difference, as both were excellent.

I've always been a fan of Lexan and Perspex. IMO, it plays like a heavier mouthpiece and gives a softer feel on the lips without any tone difference. Sadly, I haven't really ventured into owning many mouthpieces of the sort because they're expensive to customize, and I don't really trust them in certain applications (ie French Horn).
I'd be pretty shocked if there wasn't at least one regular Eb Tenor Horn player using the Yamaha TMP-AH as their main piece, though. It's literally better than the 37C4 in every way possible.
