Great sound, fabulously well in tune from octave to octave. .Also Power Ring is a revelation.
About six months ago I got one of your CHI tenor mouthpieces. After a certain amount of woodshedding with it I was very please indeed. Great sound, fabulously well in tune from octave to octave. Recently a bass player pointed out that you'd started making a ring ligature specially fitted to your mouthpieces, and he suggested I give it try.
The ligature arrived a few hours ago, and it's a revelation. Not only do the lowest notes speak far easier than they ever have before, but the shrillness at the top is gone as well. The tone is consistent from top to bottom and beautiful throughout. You really should just up the price of the mouthpiece a bit and sell them with these ligatures. I don't think anybody would ever tell you it wasn't worth the money.
All the best,
