Re: New Wodkowski Mouthpiece

I use this model as well, and can corroborate what A.J. has said. I feel very comfortable with this mouthpiece in just about any situation, whether in orchestra, chamber music, recitals, or lessons. I have some of my students on this model now and it's proving to be a great choice. He has also been very good with my students in terms of communicating with them from London. Now that he will be one of our guests at the MSU Clarinet Extravaganza, it will be a great opportunity for them to work with him one on one for additional mouthpieces. I have to say that one of the things that makes Ramon a very talented mouthpiece maker is his ability to make something for anyone. Some like Pyne, some Kaspar, others like Vandoren, Ched, etc. He can make a better version of what you want without imposing one style of mouthpiece making on you. As for me, I like a mouthpiece in the middle, i.e., not on any fringe of openness/closeness, as well as a symmetrical facing that provides moderate resistance. I told him that was what I wanted and he produced it for me and my students with startling ease.
