Mouthpieces

Hi All
Solo/Ensemble contest was this weekend and a comment from the judge made me curious...
He asked me what kind of mouthpiece I'm using, which I know is a valid question since it makes such a difference on the instrument. Currently, I'm using a Michael Lomax Classic mouthpiece (which I'm very happy with) and I told him that. He said that it *is* a good mouthpiece and he himself used to use one, but has changed now because it lends itself to a brighter sound, and a bigger sound. (He wasn't the biggest advocate of "big" clarinet sounds...) I'm just curious what experience other people have with my mouthpiece. I've always enjoyed the darkness of the sound it gives me I I like the ability to play out and loud (although I don't often). The judge suggested a Pine? (I think that's what he said...)

Any comments?
Chrissie
