Great but a bit dull sounding
Pros:
1) A lot of tip opening options and three room sizes to choose from
2) Great quality control - it's ready to play right out of the box and I've never heard of any rail or table issues with this series of mouthpieces. I'm convinced that buying a new mouthpiece shouldn't require the neccessary refacing to be able to play (yes, I'm talking about you, JJ Babbitt).
3) Looks beautiful
4) Pretty affordable. Yes, it doesn't come with a ligature and a cap, but you can get a Rovner Dark for around 30 bucks, or Optimum ligature for 80 which is designed specifically for this mouthpiece, and quite honestly worth the money they are asking for it. Bottom line - even with Optimum ligature (which feels premium and has three different plates) it's cheaper than, let's say, already mentioned Otto Link.
Cons:
1) I would say the only negative is that the sounds is a bit dull. Comparing to my D'Addario Select Jazz 7, it lacks some life (and it's quiter than Select Jazz). Not that it's too dark, no, it's something else, like the sound gets lost somewhere on the way. Nothing too critical, though, and if you like softer sound you will like this mouthpiece.
