Re: Chedeville and Lelandais mouthpieces

For a number of years, Buffet mouthpieces were made on (old) Chedeville blanks. If the discussion in older threads on this topic is correct, Chedeville began supplying blanks/mouthpieces to Buffet in the 1920s and continued (Lelandais/Chedeville) into the 1970s. The mouthpieces are identified by a 1-up, 3-down, ligature line configuration and "France" stamped on the mouthpiece. In addition to Buffet's professional line, these blanks were also used for Evette and Evette & Schaeffer clarinet mouthpieces. Buffet applied several facings to the mouthpieces they sold with their professional clarinets. According to Dave Tuttle, a Chicago mouthpiece dealer, the Evette & Schaeffer mouthpieces were not faced by Buffet but rather were included with the instruments as they came from Chedeville. These mouthpieces exist for piccolo, soprano, alto and bass clarinets.
