I found the Debut and Premier to be different enough, in my search for
my first new mouthpiece in 40 years, that I bought one of each. Though
it might help me figure out what I like for when/if I want to buy one
of the pricier ones.

In a missive of 5:52 PM -0500 11/5/98, James Rosen inscribed:
>Clark Fobes mentioned his Debut mouthpiece (and his fantastic offer to
>educators - or is it -ers - Dee?). I have not tried this mouthpiece, but I
>do own a student mouthpiece (as a backup - and a quality one at that) made
>by another member of Klarinet - David Hite's Premier. While this is
>slightly too free-blowing for my regular playing, it is good enough to be a
>backup. My father, who has been on a 30 year hiatus from clarinet also owns
>one, and he sounds better on it than his 40-year-old Selmer stock
>mouthpiece. I don't have the specific demensions for this mouthpiece, so I
>can't compare it to the (seemingly rejected) B45 by Vandoren.
