Hey all,

Just curious, what's different about warburton vs Greg black mouthpieces? The one piece warburtons look almost identical to Greg black mouthpieces.

Greg Black sources his blanks from Warburton.

Other than the outer shape, they are complete different.

Which Warburton to which Greg Black? Now that there are such a plethora of options out there, it isn't like there is a perfectly linear relationship between all mouthpieces of a particular manufacturer.

I believe Greg used to (and possibly still does) get his blanks from Warburton, so that accounts for their similar outward appearance. Having said that, burgerbob is right in that playing-wise they are completely different. One example: the Greg Black 5G is much deeper and more open than a Warburton 5G, amongst other differences in the throat size and rim profile.

Not at all!! Lol. There are too many measurements to consider. Inside diameter? Outside? Cup depth? Contour? Size of bore? Shape of bore? Etc.
