Hmmm, when I (as a German) see the optics (English style lettering and a nazi rune looking blitz) of this "brand name" which are veeery opposite to what Sturm&Drang describes originally (the romantic period in the early 19th century!) I would never consider this touching my lips

I am quite happy with my Metaphysics, Epistemology and Ethics 5A and see no reason to switch. It is only on such a mouthpiece that one can formulate a consistent musical theory and achieve it in practice. Other mouthpieces produce only an embarrassing conglomeration of impotence, futility, inconsistency and superficiality.

Your vocabulary reminds me of Shaun Jones' hilarious lawyer commercial...MikeS wrote: Sun Mar 01, 2026 10:35 am I am quite happy with my Metaphysics, Epistemology and Ethics 5A and see no reason to switch.

Only for playing Wagner.

I was asked to cover the contrabassoon part in that Symphony once in a per service orchestra. I started wood shedding it. It's challenging as hell. I started getting some of the really hard licks close to up to tempo and then I got a email saying they found a contrabassoonist.
I was relieved.
