The clarinet I play on is a Noblet (Leblanc, no futher information
available) which is at my disposal from the
band I play with. I did not use warm water to clean the mouthpiece.
I thought it was a wooden mouthpiece, not hard rubber as you mentioned.
Although I'm no longer sure of this. Anyhow, it's still green.
