Anyone ever tried or heard of a Gennusa mouthpiece? I've never seen it on this board. It was designed by Ignatius Gennusa (former princial clarinetist for Chicago). It's an "old Chedeville knockoff". When I bought my new Vintage (that's an oxy-moron, isn't it?), I wanted a new mouthpiece to replace my old Portnoy. I tried many mouthpieces, Bay, Forbes, AD, Selmer, Gigliotti, etc. Muncy suggested I try this one. It "spoke" fuller and "darker" than any of the others I tried. The amazing thing is the flexibility of reeds. Reeds that didn't play well for me on the Portnoy now play well on the Gennusa. The thing is growing on me more each day. Incidentally, it's a relatively low priced mouthpiece (like VD). I bought the open mouthpiece (G**).
