The Clarinet BBoard

Re: Memory Lane First Mouthpiece

Author: mnorswor  Date:   2005-12-21 01:49 My first was an old Selmer HS** which came with the clarinet my uncle gave me to play on. It was so warped that it was no wonder I felt that playing clarinet was so difficult, as I was originally a sax player (SSSHHHHH!!!!!) From there, I switched to a Portnoy BP02 because that's what my first teacher played on. I played that for about 2 years. I then switched to a Gigliotti because that's what Tony wanted and I played that until college, (about 2 years) and then changed to a Bay that Charlie made for me. Then, I played a Chedeville that Rick Sayre refaced, then a Kaspar 11 that my teacher gave to me, which didn't work out well so I gave it back to him. Went back to the Sayre refaced Ched, switched to an original Ched from the 1940s. From there I played on a Langenus for 1 year and then got my first Opperman. I've played on this for 6 years now and have no intentions of changing, despite the fact that I have a whole box of mouthpieces from all vintages including about 20 or so Kaspars, Cheds, Bettoneys and Lelandais. Now I have 4 other Oppermans and some Behn refaced stuff and I figure it's time to get out of the mouthpiece game --Michael http://www.michaelnorsworthy.com P.S. I'm not selling anything, so please, no emails about it :-)
