And was this the Glotin Chedeville, the Chadash Chedeville or someone else's Chedeville?

Yes Mark and mnorswor, I meant the Glotin one.
What was your first impression Mark (although you didn't play it)?

Yet another mouthpiece, using a famous name (of a dead guy) for marketing purposes. The sign said "The Chedeville has arrived" (or something very similar), but Glotin has been marketing "Chedeville" mouthpieces for a while.
Doesn't mean it's good or bad, but I'd prefer it to be named the Glotin "Chas. Chedeville Style" mouthpiece.

I was at Clarinetfest and saw them. I didn't try one but listened to others try them over the course of the few days. I thought they sounded a bit airy....and lacked "liveliness" ...or something. Anyway, I didn't feel like trying one.
While I was waiting a turn at some other mouthpiece makers, I tried a couple Gennusas. The guy let me take one back into a storeroom, so I could hear it without the other noise going on in the mainroom there. Well, I liked the tone and response, felt it had promise, bought it. I have been playing on it a couple of days now. The main thing that I am pleasantly suprised by is.... I have always played sharp on every clarinet and every mouthpiece ever since I started playing, always having to "pull out". With this mouthpiece, I get to have my clarinet all pushed together, and tuning is "right on the money" from top to bottom.
(Funny thing... I took this mouthpiece from the vendor directly over to play in the clarinet choir, had my barrel pulled out like I am used to, and I was flatter than all get-out...didn't know what was going on.....shocked the heck out of me....)
