I've been playing an old Conn alto for a couple of years and I just ordered a Buescher Big B tenor from Gayle at Vintagesax. I like to play mostly old jazz standards and I'm trying to get some opinions as to what kind of mouthpiece might work for me with this sax playing that style of music.

lhoover - which Big B did you get, if you don't mind me asking??? Gayle has a few nice ones.

I got the 294xxx. I think it's the first Aristocrat on her website.

Ponzol, Lawton, Jaguar, ESP, Links (prone to be stuffy). Brilhardts and Customs.
I have lots of mpc test files on the Buescher tenors here if you're interested.

I have a wonderfull experience with Meyer HR. (The one I played was a 6M).

Wonderfull, fullbodied, very fibrant playing...
I fell in love with that combi, pitty the sax wasn't mine *:o)

A large chamber Morgan (the "L" model) is certainly worth a try too....
