Hi Dudes!
4 recommendations worth trying IMHO.
1. Rico Graftonite - I have a B7 Soprano, best £15 I have ever spent. Lively without being in any way screechy.
2. Vandoren V16 6S HR - my main mouthpiece of choice. Lovely tone but with some edge.
3. Brancher J15 Metal - very close, again not in any way painful - the trouble I find with Soprano.
4. Berg Larsen Ebonite - as initially used by Jan Garbarek. Again lovely tone but not sock like. Used
to play it on my straight soprano a few years ago - sold it when I decided to quit soprano in favour of Alto.
Obviously I've not played every soprano mouthpiece, but these are tried and tested. I have tried the Yani HR but found it a little dull in comparison, but not sock like!
Get a Graftonite at the very least (good range of choices available!) before shelling out the pennies
IMO.
Kind regards
Tom
