What a surprise! I've tested other rico graftonite before...I find most of them quite decent if not middle of the road - but the A3 for tenor is something else: very dark and deep...probably the darkest of my 20 tenor mouthpieces and by now one of my favourites for slow ballads.
I guess the large chamber gives the A3 that extra dark lush tone....any suggestion for similar big chamber mpcs?
 
Great aren't they! I've got a drawer full of them - one for every occasion ;} Im using the A5 at the moment with a Vandoren ZZs (gives a bit of edge) - nice and loud, reasonably easy altissimo and low notes too :thumb:
 
I have a C7 which is great for contemporary music and I preferred it to the Vandoren Java T55 that I used to use.

well...i prefer my A3 to the Selmer Jazz G metal!!! (about 100 times more expensive) - the 2 apparently have both large chambers (correct me if I'm wrong on this)...the whoozines of the Selmer Jazz is missed though - now if there was a mouthpiece which could combine the depth of the A3 and that whooz of the Selmer I'd have the perfect mouthpiece for slow tempo pieces.

the A5 and A7 are next on my must buy list...
