RE: Pyne Clarion

I have a Pyne PolyCrystal which I think is a very good value for the price. It is made of a clear polymer (plastic material) which, I assume is where it gets its name. Although I have not had it long enough to know for sure, I suspect it may not be quite as durable as some other mouthpiece materials. Obviously, there must be advantages to other materials as well or Pyne would be using the same material in their higher priced mouthpieces, too.

I don't have a Pomarico for comparison, but they claim to use an "acoustically superior" material in their crystal. I have seen no mention of exactly what type of crystal it actually is (polymer, glass, mineral or ???). Perhaps someone with further information can enlighten us.

If Pomarico is going to stay in business, they must be offering something more than a name to support the price difference.
