Hi!!

I play Hite mouthpieces on all my clarinets (A, Bb, Eb sop.) and like them
very much.
They play well in tune and project well. My Eb Hite makes my E-fer sound
super. The only place I have an intonation problem is on A above the staff.
They are very inexpensive (about $40 American, apiece), so you might
consider trying one. I've been playing on mine for 15+ years now. Hope
this helps.
