Daniel,
You can contact Heinz Viotto directly and he can help you. He uses a Zinner
blank that is different from the one used in the US.
Many German players use his m'pieces and you can ask for a Meyer, Manno, etc
facing to try.
His e-mail is:

Good luck,

Subject: [kl] German Mouthpieces

Hi list,

I recently acquired an old-ish Oehler system clarinet that I'd like to give
a try. I've always wanted to see what it was like playing the Oehler system

without having to spend the small fortune that new German instruments cost.

However it doesn't have a mouthpiece, and I don't really want to buy a
Vandoren. I was thinking of buying a Zinner blank and just having someone
put a facing on it, or do it myself. But Weiner Music has stopped carrying
the German blank and only has the Model A.

Does anyone know any other importer that carries Zinner's German models?
Does Zinner sell direct to individuals only buying one or two mouthpieces?

Many thanks,
Daniel Stover
