Re: Wells Mouthpieces

Steve, The B1 Wells I have -- which is my favorite mouthpiece, closely followed by a "jazz" Kaspar design from Walter Grabner -- does not have a model marking on it but does match the picture of the B1 posted by Bill Fogle. I am in the process of asking a modern maker of mouthpieces (Ben Redwine) to look at the Wells and see how he might replicate or improve upon the design. The Wells seems to work well with Canyes Xilema reeds available from Redwine or several other suppliers. The Wells seems to work especially well on older Selmer clarinets, especially the big-bore models (K, Series 9, BT, CT). George
