This is what make this whole process so difficult. The clarinet, barrel,
mouthpiece, reed, ligature, and the player are a "system." When one or
more component is changed the interaction may be different.

Since I started playing "seriously" again about four years ago I have
changed mouthpiece, ligature, reed, clarinet, reed, reed, clarinet,
mouthpiece, and barrel in roughly that order. I have probably changed,
too.

I suppose if the processes was easy it would take the fun out of it.
