Order a Vandoren mouthpiece from Woodwinds if you decide to get one,
because a 5rv lyre will only be about $50.

Subject: Mouthpiece Information

I'm a 9th grade Average to Above-Average clarinet player who will
be
attending High School next year and playing in the Marching Band. I have
a
Artley 17S clarinet with the original mouthpiece that came with it.
Dietze
Music (a local music store) says that I should buy a new mouthpiece as
soon
as possible. They suggested a Vandorean which would run $60-$70. I was
wondering what other people think. Please send me your suggestions and
how
much it would cost. I would also like to know how big of improvement it
would make in my skill, am I better off waiting until later in High
School
or investing in one now? Also, I'm looking for a good catalog company to
order it from. I would greatly appreciate any assistance anyone could
provide.

Thanks,
Daniel Lantis
