Hi Anne, that was John Steward you most likely met (I work in their factory down in Worthing) and he suggested that I shorten my mouthpiece rather than the barrel (M15 '13' series), which to me is a better idea than shortening an old Selmer barrel which I'd have a lot more trouble replacing - I can always get a new Vandoren mouthpiece, whereas Series 9 barrels at 67mm are hard to come by.

You can have your own mouthpiece (or a new 5RV Lyre to keep your own one for your other clarinets) shortened at the tenon and shoulder, and the bore opened up to a 1010/Elite bore so they work with the Eaton Elites (or a B&H 1010).

The Eaton mouthpiece has a very wide tip opening of 1.26mm, so I don't know how you'd get on with one of these (I also prefer close tip openings).

I found my Vandoren A1 crystal works well with B&H 1010 and Peter Eaton Elites as it's shorter than most mouthpieces and has a large bore - maybe the Pomarico Ruby is similar, but I haven't been able to compare.
