As Hans rightly points out, the B45 is a terrible choice as a beginner mouthpiece. It is far too resistant and often, with the wrong reed, forces the student to blow unnecessarily too hard.

Unfortunately the B45 is (seemingly) the only mouthpiece most band directors (who are not clarinetists) know and recommend.

Save the B45 as a back-up and purchase a more student friendly mouthpiece such as a Hite Premiere, Fobes Debut, Yamaha 4C or a Vandoren 5RV...GBK
