How's a Vandoren B45 mouthpiece for the alto? Any good?

It depends on if your mouthpiece is cut for real alto clarinet reeds or =
for alto sax reeds.

The best results are with a real alto clarinet set-up.
Of course a bad mthpc is a bad mthpc whichever style it was made for, so =
that is critical.

What do you have for a mthpc?=20

We specialize in alto clarinet, and do custom rebuilds, make mouthpieces =
and have over 1,000 real alto clarinet reeds in stock. Good aged cane.

Contact me off-list, or better, call me, and I will be glad to go over =
alto clarinet foibles and fine points.

Alto clarinet, set up right with good reeds and mthpc is a fantastic =
instrument. It can really make a clarinet section in a band sound great. =
One good alto clarinet can make a 12 clarinet section sound wonderful.
