The mouthpieces in Buffet pro clarinets are pretty much space fillers
in the cases. By the time you are playing an R-13, they assume you
have made a more intelligent mouthpiece choice and will be sticking
with that, but they figure they do have so sell you a complete,
ready-to-play set. Of course, you get the same rotten piece of junk
with an E-11 or B-12, too.
