Re: Cheds and Kaspars - American or International?

The reason a mouthpiece like the ones mentioned is that a few very excellent players used them and several became well known teachers and pretty much insisted that all their students play on the same mouthpiece or people thought that if they played on the same mouthpiece as a player they admired, some are still like that, they would get the same sound, wrong. There are many players that use or have used Cheds or Kaspars that sound great but a great many more that use them that don't really sound very good. It's not the name of the mouthpiece that makes someone sound really good. I think when they were being manufactured only here in the USA they weren't very well known in Europe, especially those using the German system clarinet. The world was a much larger place back then.
