More like - Aren't usually. In virtually all brands (hey, kinda like
reeds). I would take Gary's advice, and see Clark.

Unfortunately, mouthpieces aren't always consistent. My son's teacher had a
Larry Combs mouthpiece that I thought was really great. So I ordered one to
try and it was terrible. I sent it back.

Since you live in Los Altos, CA, I would suggest that you go visit Clark
Fobes in San Francisco and try his mouthpieces. Your chances of finding
something you really like would be better than ordering one (or even three)
at a time to try. I think I tried around 15 when I was there and bought
two.
