KD--

I have played on Morgan mouthpieces, and his sax mouthpieces are far superior to
his clarinet mouthpieces. Try Greg Smith, or Jim Pyne mouthpieces if you want a
custom, or even a Vandoren B45, 5RV (2RV--same thing), or 11.6. As far as
reeds, Vandorens are good, but try the Vandoren V12s. I have not seen Vandoren
Blackmaster for clarinet, I think they are sax reeds.
