He said that he had a few blanks of &#8220;Indian Rubber&#8221; (I have no idea what that means, but it sounds good) He said that it was special rubber that had the qualities of vintage rubber and that when I played this mouthpiece I would be blown away by the resonance and tone of it.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/public.neffmusic.com\/GWIndian.jpg\" rel=\"shadowbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0pt none; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/images\/stories\/easygallery\/88888894\/GWIndian.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"280\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/public.neffmusic.com\/GWIndianbaffle.jpg\" rel=\"shadowbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px initial initial;\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/images\/stories\/easygallery\/88888894\/GWIndianbaffle.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"280\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><!--more-->When I first received it I thought it looked the same as his other pieces I have played \u00a0but when I played it I really noticed a difference. The first thing I noticed was that the piece could play pretty darn loud. That surprised me because the baffle is not a high baffle at all. It&#8217;s just got a kind of medium \u00a0linkish type baffle on it. When I really laid into it \u00a0the mouthpiece really let me get some great volume out of it. When I play softly or medium it has a graininess and character to the sound that I really enjoyed. I haven&#8217;t had a lot of tim with it yet because I&#8217;ve been so busy \u00a0so I&#8217;m looking forward to playing it some more and trying different reeds and ligatures out on it. \u00a0I&#8217;ll keep you updated. \u00a0Thanks to Greg Weir for making another great piece for me! \u00a0 \u00a0 Listen&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-688-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/images\/mp3\/GW%20Indian.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/images\/mp3\/GW%20Indian.mp3\">https:\/\/www.neffmusic.com\/images\/mp3\/GW%20Indian.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This another tenor mouthpiece made by Greg Wier. \u00a0I asked Greg to make me a hard rubber tenor mouthpiece with a little more power than his slant piece I had played before.
