Let us consider next the rim of the mouthpiece. Figure A [above] shows a mouthpiece with a desirable amount of roundness of the rim; it is especially well suited for beginners but is also used by many professional symphony players.
The various cup designs have been chosen for their ability to produce any sound desired by the player.
The different cup depths within one diameter allow the player to easily change mouthpieces to perform in a different context.
The backbore designs complement the cup shapes and further assist in the “fine-tuning” of the sound.
The WARBURTON system allows the player the opportunity to personally “balance” his equipment, a process that heretofore was not within grasp!
strident, warm, shrill, etc. - ALL of the sound and nuance of timbre, volume and pitch comes from the reed alone. The mouthpiece/saxophone-clarinet body acts like a passive filter/resonator. A fine instrument will dampen and filter out most of the unwanted elements of the sound while adding resonance to the desirable qualities of the vibrating reed.

In sum - THE REED IS A TYRANT which takes charge of everything. But at least we can limit its tyranny to a considerable degree, i.e. the vibrating range of the reed’s autonomy can be influenced by the embouchure, mouthpiece and instrument.
