A very clear, nicely phrased article Clark.! I still play several Frank
Kaspar mouthpieces and have many friends in major musical organizations who
do also still with excelent intonation , projection, and tonal quality.
However , I have a great respect for your fine mouthpiece craftsmanship, and
feel as you do, that there are many fine modern mouthpieces being made for
most clarinet players needs. I wonder if you might comment on the hard rubber
blanks available to these earlier makers, and if you feel modern blanks are
of the same quality or better.? thanks, Chester Rowell
