Re: Mouthpiece for Boosey & Hawkes Bb Bass Clarinet

You are mixing up Resonite with ebonite - your Imperial bass is made from ebonite (hard rubber), the Emperor basses which were Bundy/Buescher stencils were Resonite (plastic).

I'm sure there must have been more ebonite Imperial basses made just as there were ebonite Imperial Eb, Bb and A clarinets made - not made in the same numbers as their grenadilla counterparts, but definitely not made in so few numbers they can be counted on less than the fingers on one hand. I don't think this is a one-off, but I can't understand why the mouthpiece socket is that much narrower on yours than it is on any other.

The only thing I could suggest is find out the diameter of the tenon on a German mouthpiece for a German bass - these are a lot narrower (as is the bore) and take a smaller and narrower reed (around the length of an alto sax reed but narrower). See if Stephen Fox could shed some light as he makes German bore Boehm system basses.
