For about the last six years I have been playing on a Combs LC3
mouthpiece (I played a Combs LC1 for about the previous six years.)

Earlier in my career I played on a Vandoren B45 and a Kaspar 13
(Cicero). I like the Combs for its even tone, ease in playing in
the upper register, and clarity in tonguing. With it I use Olivieri
#3.5 reeds and a silver Harrison-Hurtz ligature on a Buffet R-13
clarinet. (And I'm amazed how much Larry Combs sounds like me...)
