Re: Hite vs Fobes beginner mouthpiece.

I've played both the Hite and the Fobes. Out of those two I prefer the Fobes. I will caution however that I did buy a bass clarinet version of the Fobes Debut that was unplayable so I won't go so far as to call it a "can't miss". The half dozen or so Bb Debuts I've played have been pretty good however and I keep one in my case as a backup / emergency mouthpiece.

Another mouthpiece to consider is the Gennusa Mezzo. A couple of players I know have them and like them a lot. I think the quality of most of the $30-$40 plastic mouthpieces coming from the "boutique" makers is really pretty amazing these days. I'd say you can almost definitely find one of them that will play to your liking.
