Mark, if you believe that the mouthpiece and the clarinet are the
principle ingredients to creating a pleasant sound, in tune and
pleasing, then I guess we have not reached you with the various
assertions that, all things being equal, the moment the air column
leaves the mouth, the sound character has already been formed and there
is little you can do in terms of mouthpieces and clarinets to affect
that sound character.
