i currently own a 5j and have access to an 11j that is probably the same as yours. I am currently playing a bach 12 on them. I am awaiting a schilke 66 to try and see if a shallower mouthpiece will help me any. My 5j is very similar to the 11j but I have noticed some very different things about them other than the fact my 5j has 4 valves compared to the three of the 11j. For one thing the 11j is a lot lighter. At least 5 to ten pounds. The 11j feels very poorly made and fragile. It does not play near as freely as my 5j. It takes more air to play it and does not nearly project as well. Those are just some random thoughts of mine. Good luck,
Jeff
