> My first Eb mouthpiece was a Selmer Hs*. It was in the case when I bought
> the clarinet in a pawn shop. I used it for the entire time I played the
> Selmer clarinet. When I bought my Buffet Eb R-13, I bought a Charles Bay
> mouthpiece and a Vandoren crystal mouthpiece. I had difficulty with pitch
> on the crystal and the Bay would not play over D above the staff. Then I
> came upon the Hite mouthpiece and liked it so much that I bought two Bb
> mouthpieces to use with my other clarinets. I have played on them for
> sixteen years. They are very nice mouthpieces. I have just recently
> purchased a new set of clarinets from Patricola. The Hites do not play
> well on these horns. After trying many mouthpieces, the Greg Smith
> mouthpieces were very consistant, so that is what I am currently using.
> They performed well in every respect. The point of all this is that you
> need to try many mouthpieces to find what is right for you. Enjoy your
> search - you learn an awful lot when you try new things.
