Subj: [kl] bass clarinet mouthpiece

Hi, Christy,

I use a Hite bass clarinet mouthpiece and a Hite ligature (my Bonade
inverted ligature is too large for this mouthpiece) for the little
playing I do. I believe there's only one model; maybe the lig even
comes with the mouthpiece. I've been quite happy with it, and I
believe the price is reasonable (it's been a while). A Vandoren #3 is
usually what I end up using, but her mileage may vary. Howard Klug
always told me to put lots of mouthpiece in my mouth when playing bass
- much more than feels natural for a Bb player - and following his
advice has always helped.

Best of luck to your daughter!

Best regards,

Anna
