Re: any mouthpiece suggestions for noblet 27?

The Hite Premier is indeed a good mouthpiece that won't do you wrong.

I also played on an HS* for many years until I got tired of how it made me work too hard; the entire bite area is very small and you feel as though you're blowing through a flattened soda straw after awhile. One mouthpiece that worked for me after the HS* was the Vandoren M13 Lyre. It has a small tip opening similar to the HS* but has a larger bite that give you more flexibility in your sound. It's supposed to be optimized for the Buffet R-13 but it works just fine with my Signet 100. You can get it for about $60-$70 at the online stores or for a bit more at a local retailer.

In the end, mouthpieces are very personal things, and what works for me may not work for you. Try as many mouthpieces as you can.
