Abrupt baffle lumps tend to make your tone more focused, louder & with less texture or partials... Depends on the original throat design.

Any thoughts on putting Phill Barone on the Manufacturer list? He is an accomplished mouthpiece maker & does put together a rather good sax, in my opinion. He may have a following, all be it, small.

sorry to read about your illness. life is far more precious than the other things that we spend so much time agonizing over. i pray that this signature deal does not overburden you or cause you stress. if it does, let me know, ill drop the whole matter.
