I was skeptical of the procedure at first. As I wrote on the list a few days ago, I tried the same model of mouthpiece non-annealed and annealed. I noticed a subtle difference in the resultant tone quality between the two mouthpieces. I liked the annealed mouthpiece better. I don't know if everyone would like it better. I did not like the "heavy weight" version of the mouthpiece, even though I know so many people who rave about the heavy mouthpieces. If you have the opportunity to try a single mouthpiece model in different configurations--annealed, non-annealed, different weights, etc.--I advice you to do it. While the scientific principles that go into the hocus-pocus might make the differences seem negligible, the only thing that matters is THE SOUND. Play whatever mouthpiece makes it easiest to sound the way you want.
