I make my own reeds from cane purchased from Donati in France. I do the
entire process by hand, including work to get the blanks from the tubes.
My mouthpiece is made by Jim Pyne. Many of my students,(I teach at Arizona
State University) use Bob Scott mouthpieces and are quite happy with them.
I used one for a while myself. I continue to use a Scott Barrel with both
my Bb and A clarinets.

I do not have the dimensions of my mouthpiece, but will try to get them to
you soon.
