I have an old french made timber clarinet that appears to have the name kelaudais engraved on the mouthpeice. It also has the number 7 and the words qual? b superieure. I am not a musician so I cannot tell you anything more than I beleive it to be "german movment"? Any help would be great. Tony Powell

The mouthpiece is not the best part to use for brand identification I'm afraid.
Hardly any (serious) player uses the mouthpiece that comes with an instrument when you buy it.
The ones that you get with new instruments are only there to be thrown away (at least the buffets etc. of this world).
The ones that come second hand, I wouldn't use either.
So if you want to have any change of identifying the instrument you better try to describe the main part (logo's, serial numbers etc.)

PS this could be of course the one exception ;-)

What you're reading on the mouthpiece is "Lelandais" which indicates that the mouthpiece is most probably a keeper and would be worthwhile to get examined by a pro.
But it indicates nothing about the rest of the clarinet ...
