Subj: RE: [kl] Mouthpiece cap for Contra-Bass (BBb) clarinet needed

Any music store that sells Leblanc instruments or accessories should be able
to order a Leblanc contra-bass mouthpiece cap for you, even if it is not
regularly stocked by the store. International Music Suppliers or Woodwind
and Brasswind may have them listed in their catalogues. (Large metal
mouthpiece caps are pricey however -- I liked the suggestion in a previous
response for the cap made from a plastic salt shaker -- very imaginative.)
