OK, now I'm curious. Exactly what sort of mouthpiece IS required for a
small-bore clarinet?

I'm playing a Linton 3W, made in the 1960's by Robert Malerne for Linton.
The measurement at the middle joint is 0.559"...quite a bit smaller than an
R-13. But the horn seems to play well in tune, with the exception of a
slightly flat long E/B. I'm using a Vandoren B-45.
