The equipment I'm using is a Buffet R13 that dates to 1966, but the bore is in great shape. It has a smaller diameter but blows as easy as anything new I've played on.

Chadash re-cut A barrel to fit my clarinet
Gigliotti P Face mouthpiece that has been adjusted by Andy Stevens in
Denver. (I'm not sure as to the measuements, but it takse a
3.5-4 vandoren blu box reed.)
M13 Lyre- It happens the same with this mpc also. It is a good mpc though
-Burt Hara has played on it and he likes it. Tip: 102.5
Baffle: 4
I forget what the other two measurements are, but the numbers are 22 and 35. I know you make mouthpieces, so I'd guess you know what they're for.

crnichols: Thanks.
In other words, Pace myself? I've always thought this, but when I'd get to my lessons I'd alwas get hit on not drawing enough air. It's been a while since I've been with my teacher, since I moved to MN five yrs ago, so I've often wondered if this was just to form a better breathing habbit, because it really helped my pitch (I naturally blow really flat-and it is not my embouchure.). I'll have to give your help a chance. I'll report back in a few weeks.

Skygardner: Come to think about it, I was told to try some different mouthpieces by my teacher in Denver. He is probably thinking along the same lines as you. I'll have to give him a call. Do you have any suggestions?
