Subj: [kl] Bass Clarinet mouthpieces
Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2003 21:00:47 -0500

My daughter, who has been playing Bb clarinet for several years and is in
the 7th grade, came home with a brand new bass clarinet the school band
director had given her to try out. She loves the instrument so far (even
though it's bigger than she is). I believe it's a Vito (something plastic
made by LeBlanc). Does anyone have a mouthpiece suggestion? The one that
came with the instrument leaves much to be desired, not to mention the only
1 and a half reed (Rico and unbalanced) the band director gave her to use.
I have some experience playing an alto clarinet but never a bass. Does
anyone have any suggestions about crossing the break-she is having a tough
time getting those notes to sound.
