I am just as comfortable playing this mouthpiece in a symphony orchestra as I am playing it in a solo or quintet setting. Dynamics, intonation, ease of playing and most importantly sound quality are all exceptional. Resonant and rich in a bach kind of way, very comfortable rim, good flexibility, articulation and endurance, good response, very easily in tune in the upper register. Just a joy to play. I highly recommend to 3C players out there!
