Each mouthpiece is identical as far as is possible both internally and externally except that one is made from brass that has been gold plated on top of silver, the other is made from 100% black ebonite made in the traditional way. I did not know which mouthpiece I was playing, the same reed and ligature were used. Same phrase recorded with factory matched stereo pair of Oktava condenser microphone MK-012-1 at a distance of approx one yard
I believe some people will correctly identify which is which.

Electrical tape over the beaks to make them feel identical. The weight difference, once on the instrument, is insignificant and not detectable.
