Unlike Barry, and possibly everybody else on the Network, I am not
_well versed on mouthpiece dynamics and the respective roles of tip
opening, facing curve, chamber shape and size, etc._ I would be
interested if other members of the network could share their knowledge
in this area, as I am in the midst of a clarinet mouthpiece search
myself, and would like more information.

Thanks all,
