Subj: Re: [kl] Benade Clarinet Mouthpiece Overblowing at the Octave?

I think the moutpiece is a part of the bore of my instrument and perhaps may
have an influence on overblowing. When you blow in a saxophone mouthpiece,
without the instrument, the sensation is not the same as a clarinet
mouthpiece. You get a different resistance (acoustical impedance?) with
these 2 materials; perhaps does it influe on overblowing?
That's why I think it would be interesting to make a test whith a clarinet
mouthpiece on a saxophone (with a saxophone mouthpiece on a clarinet too).

Precision : my aim is not to make clarinet become an octave overblowing
instrument, I'm just curious.
