In my experience, with the z-cut, you get a headjoint that seems easier to blow, but lacks in color in umph in the 3rd register. Don't let the sparkle fool you, thats precisely what the headjoint is supposed to do. More sparkle, less color palette. Makes the beginner feel confident. When you go back to the classic cut, you'll hear the difference, see the horizon clearly and your sound will just fill out. Also, I sold my Z-cut headjoint for about 700.00 a year ago.
Love the smoothness and evenness of the classic cut, but the flexibility and sparkle of the Z-cut 🥰
