We switched to Vandoren M13 mpcs in the Richmond Symphony last season,
looking for a mpc that would play comfortably at 440.

David--I am interested in the statement that "we" switched--did you all
think it important that you play the same mouthpiece, or was it simply a
matter of "try this" and everybody liking it? If memory serves me
correctly, in a prior post you mentioned that not all of you played the same
brand of clarinet.

I am also looking for a mouthpiece that plays a little lower in pitch. I
tried the M13 B45, and did not care for it--too strident for me.
