When I became clairnet soloist of my high school wind ensemble, I got to use the school's Buffet R13 that they purchased from Charles Bay, so it had all sorts of good stuff with it including the mouthpiece I've come to love. When I recently purchased my own R13, I also bought my own Charles Bay mouthpiece (Hey, good clarinet, might as well buy a good mouthpiece to go with it! Buy quality, get good results). I like the Charles Bay H2, with the MO-L (.053-18 mm) tip opening and facing. Partnered with a #4 Vandoren reed, I've gotten nice results.
