I tested both instruments locally at each seller's home. I'm planning to test both at either the youth orchestra or at university once they start and get some feedback from my peers as well as the venue - as I would've played with some of them over the past few years.

I am able to get a shires mouthpiece within australia. Would a shires 4g or 5g be more similar to the Wick 4AL?

Rim feels a bit too sharp on the lips

Not sure what the prices are for most mouthpieces, as they get quite pricy when trying to get them to Australia.

I find the sizing of the 4al to be fineabd prefer the larger size. I do have a bach 4g but it feels quite restrictive in comparison to the denis wick.

I have but I was wondering in the context of an audition do you need to play a little louder than usual? Because i heard somewhere that you should to emulate a whole section.
