Subj: Jazz clarinet mouthpieces
Date: Sun, 24 Aug 1997 17:20:47 -0400

I am looking for a very good jazz mouthpiece for clarinet. I am currently
using a Rico Royal M9 Metallite mouthpiece, great for jazz, but it is way too
open. I have to use LaVoz medium reeds or 2-1/2 to get a good sound on it.
Are there any jazz players out there? If so, what do you use? I have a
Vandoren B45 as a back up, but I find it too closed for me. I also have a
Selmer HS**. Any recommendations? I am looking for preferably crystal, but
anything will do.

BTW, I also buy and sell used mouthpieces. If you have clarinet mouthpieces
for sale, jazz or clasical, let me know.
