Regarding mouthpieces-names, etc. I believe that assigning a numerical
figure and/or name originate with the firm of Henri Selmer (Paris) before
they got into the instrument business. For example HS (Henri Selmer) or
by extension RV (Robert Vandoren). I own several mouthpieces and many have
the same names, etc. As we all know no two play alike. There is no one
system (that I am aware of) to classify clarinet mouthpieces.
