Jeremy,

I have switched over to Clark Fobes Mouthpiece several months ago, in
fact I just bought a Fobes mouthpiece for my Eb clairnet today. I
suggest giving them a try! They are GREAT! and his barrels are just
as fabulous, I recently bought two, one for my Prestige Bb and one for my
Yamaha A. When I get the cash I will get one of his Eb barrels as well.
The price is around $115 and worth every penny!

Clark Fobes can be reached via email through the Klarinet listserv
