    I also have both bot the STM has a smaller tip opening 7 the NY a 7*. Both are very particular about reeds. (they need to be prepared) To me your altissimo is better on the STM and that is also my experience. The NY is better for tone shaping, but you need to watch your air. Even with the same reed the STM is more resistant nut the benefit is it is more even in all reguster. I really need to send it to be refaced. I feel the table is not as flat. I like the idea of medium chamber. One thing the NY does is you can start a subtone on Bb really low volume and has very minimal edge and not as breathy. With the STM, to do that I have to come down from a non bell note like D or Eb, otherwise it will have an edge or bark. But it is more even and won't punish you if your breath support is lacking, Great playing BTW @4:56 is when you switched to the STM for reference for future viewers so that the A-B is easier.

    I have throat issues from an old injury, so my physical conditioning changes and different ones feel better at different times. I will say that the NY feels better to me more often. I really like the quick response I get on the STM though. I jst can't play it as often.

    Thanks Gary! I tend to like medium/large to large chambers. I used to be able to play a small chamber mouthpiece and make it sound good but I sound terrible on them now. If I had more money I would have every size from 6 to 8 as I like having options. Typically i'm 7 -7* guy., but on a large chamber I may go down to a 6. Nothing crazy for me.

    The Morgan may have played easier but I thought the Link had more texture, presence and core. Metal Links are so challenging to play but just sound so good.

    Yeah, it was definitely interesting to put them back to back, which I really didn't intend on doing. I thought at different points the Morgan sounded more centered but when a link is dialed in it's pretty awesome.
