Several months ago I acquired a no-name wood mouthpiece that I have been using
ever since on my R13. The tone is wonderful and I am consistently in tune.
Just today at a nursing home gig, a lady in the audience remarked, "Doesn't
that clarinet sound GOOD!"

Anyway, after reading Mr. Fobes sentence above, I measured the old mouthpiece
and it is EXACTLY 89 mm. Talk about a lucky find! And a sincere thanks to Mr.
Fobes for educating me a bit more about clarinets.
