Dear Erik,

If you like it, "it's a good one." But, do check for an evenness in tone
and resistence throughout the registers, and listen for any intonation
problems resulting from the mouthpiece, rather than from you or the
instrument. Make sure it plays smoothly from pppp to ffff, and check to
see how easily the altissiomo notes speak. One last thing, evaluate the
ease with which you can articulate in the various octaves of the
clarinet with this mouthpiece.

Best Regards and Good Luck,

Starr Schaftel Wayne
