The Holton MDC is a good mouthpiece for the beginner horn player, it’s the one I used and offers good support in the upper and lower registers, and a fairly good tone that is difficult to maintain at extremely high and low notes. I would agree that this mouthpiece will be the best thing for a horn student to be using, at least until freshman year.
