This is all very individual. For example, from my
favorite clarinet players in the world, at least six
of them (that I can think of right now) play Vandoren
mouthpieces. Those are very famous and successful
players that can afford any mouthpiece easily.
Plus there are so many more professional that use
Vandorens.
