Subj: Re: [kl] Legendary mouthpiece-Where is it?

I can't help but repeat that I was just curious. I find it fascinating
that two of the century's greatest clarinetists would use the same old
mouthpiece.

As for what use it might be? None to me, since there's no way I'd ever
get my hands on it.

Even if you could find it, of what use might it be? The mouthpiece
would be
six decades old. After even a fraction of that time - here I am quoting
Benade
- mouthpiece measurements "drift". Even not considering that, with the

amount of use that the mouthpiece had, what resemblance would it have
NOW, to
how
it played in the 40's? or the 60's, or the 90's?
