I have to agree with the mouthpiece "fix." I played on a small Yamaha Eb for years. I was looking for a somewhat larger Eb and got a great deal on a used (1 year) 983 about 8 months ago. I loved the sound, but constantly fought the horn. The Conn 7B mouthpiece was too deep and open. I tried all of the Dillon-Sheridan solo mouthpieces and chose the S3. The change was immediate! It has become my primary money-making instrument, and I've received many compliments from my colleagues. Thanks, Patrick, for a superb musical tool!
