What?!?!?!? Now I am confused! I thought one used a Bb mouthpiece on Bb, A,
and C clarinets! I've only seen one C clarinet mouthpiece - a Morgan - and
I'm not too fond of it. (My apologies to those who like it - it just doesn't
work for me.) As soon as I purchase my Opus A, I intend on using my Gennusa,
because it works on the Opuses I've tried.
And if I ever get an Opus C, it says it comes with a Larry Combs LC1, the same
exact mouthpiece that came with my Bb (and the A - as soon as I get it). A
college professor uses the same mouthpiece on his Buffet Bb, A, and C
clarinets. What clarinet brands require a special C mouthpiece?
