My personal facing.  After extensive exploration, I came to this design that was most comfortable for me when I was freelancing in Toronto.  This facing offers a warm, covered sound with the colour palette and power that is necessary for soloistic playing while still having the sensitivity to play with gentle refinement for chamber music or close microphone recording as well.
