Subj: [kl] how to choose a mouthpiece?
Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2001 17:33:17 -0500

It's the newbie again. I barely resisted the temptation to mush all of
my questions into one, really long, really hard to answer post. But I do
have another question.

I play on an old Vandoren 2RV mouthpiece that I got in junior high
because the band teacher recommended it for me after I chipped the cheap
one that came with my Wurlitzer plastic clarinet.

What does the "2RV" designation mean?

Is this a "good" mouthpiece?

How does one choose a new mouthpiece? Why would you choose a new
mouthpiece? This is what I've had for my whole playing life and I'm
perfectly happy with it, but that might be just because I'm too
uneducated to know better.

Any thoughts, comments would be helpful.
