I went to the music store today to drop off my clarinet to be repadded
and I was tempted to buy this type of mouthpiece that I saw. The "A5"
facing was said to be the "darkest" sound because of its big chamber.
Another thing, it was so cheap for a mouthpiece! Twenty-six bucks! The
motto was "inexpensive expensive sounding mouthpiece" (something like
that). Then, my conscious woke me from the daze and asked "Do you really
want this?". So, I want to see if anyone has tried it. Right now I use
a HS* (is this a dark sound giving mpc?).

If you have used this type of mouthpiece, can you please give YOUR
opinion on it?

Regards.
