KEVIN-

what a great response! i agree totally. it all depends on the person and
thier oral cavity and their ability, etc. it's amazing what we will argue
about!

if you can get a kaspar that works wonders for you, great. if not, find
what works best, what you like best, what FEELS best and sounds best at the
samee time, and go for it-- you still have to work hard to be great.

have a nice wednesday!

<<<I disagree with you, my clarinet teacher at WVU plays a Kaspar that he's
had for years and his tone matches very closely with Bonade and Marcellus.
The Greg Smith and Pyne are all good mouthpieces I'm sure, but I want a
mouthpiece that has the resonance and tonal quality that Marcellus had.>>>

I have many other things to do today, but I just can't help myself with this
one. It's just so silly.

Note well--playing on Robert Marcellus' mouthpiece will not, not, not make
you sound like Robert Marcellus, unless you happen to be Robert Marcellus.
Sorry, it's not the mouthpiece. Your teacher has a good sound because they
are a good clarinet player. All the Kaspar does is show how old they are.
