Using the correct amount of mouthpiece

Saturday we had a Master class with the Belgian clarinetist Eddy Vanoosthuyse. It was very interesting and we got al some personal attention from him, because we where only with 6 persons.

He told me that I was using to much mouthpiece, and advised me to lay down my Vandoren 5RV and pick up a Vandoren B40 or B45 mouthpiece. Of course I’m going to try this to improve my playing, but my question to you…

How can you tell that you use the correct amount of mouthpiece? Personally I really couldn’t here the difference, but a friend of my told me that my sound was improved when I picked up the B40 and used less of mouthpiece.
