Subj: Re: [kl] NEW Hawkins mouthpiece for sale
Date: Sat, 6 Nov 1999 22:30:04 -0500

Anne, I have a set of Howarth's in cocobolo wood that I have been playing
for the past couple of years. I use the same mouthpieces that I used on my
Buffet's. I had a Kaspar 13 that I unfortunately broke, I have used a Bay
that was a copy of my Kaspar, I have used a mouthpiece faced for me by
Harold Ayme on a Zinner blank and I have finally rescused an old Chedeville
that Rick Sayre has refaced and is wonderful. I use the regular Howarth
barrels. I did order a 64 mm barrel from them for when the pitch gets high,
but other than that, I play stock. Carl Anderson DClarinet@-----.com

work well with those instruments? I have a Fobes MP & barrel for my buffet
and can use the mouthpiece but the barrel doesn't fit. I'm also wondering
who makes Howarth's mouthpieces- I was pleasantly surprised. Of course, If
there isn't a ready answer I could always e-mail them.....
