I see lots of discussions about mouthpieces, apparently saying that they are really important but ...
I bought a conn-selmer prelude alto sax about 18 months ago, and have use the mouthpiece that came with it up til now, without any obvious problem.
I've just bought a walstien baritone, and am using the mouthpiece that came with that .. again without any apparent problem.
So, at what point in the learning process does it really become worth looking at alternative mouthpieces? Is this really only an issue for the professional musician?
