Yamaha's Eijiro MK2 mp

[Late]

Hi!

Has anyone tested the new signature mouthpiece from Yamaha, SL-Eijiro-M22-L-GP? Eijiro Nakagawa's mouthpiece. Seems to be a Japan-exclusive model. I have the original model Eijiro mouthpiece and I quite like it for certain things, but overall found it not suitable for everyday "normal" use, mostly because of the small-ish size. The new MK2 seems to be a bit larger, with a wider backbore and throat. Yamaha's mouthpieces for some reason seem to suit my lips and way of playing and exhaling quite well so I am intrigued by this new mp. Right now I play large bore tenor with the gold plated Trudel-mouthpiece, and small bore tenor with Landgren mp. The new Eijiro Mk2 is notably pricier than other Yamaha models, costing 44.800 yen, or 277€/315$. I wonder if that has to do with inflation kicking everyone's behind or is the new mouthpiece just that... much more developed and better?
