Unless your band director has specific experience playing or teaching clarinet, I would not take mouthpiece reccomendations as gospel. The best way to select a mouthece is to try as many different ones as you can, and bring a wide variety of reeds with you when you test them. This is something best for you to do with A COMPETENT CLARINET TEACHER. It might even be worth paying for a few lessons, if you don't currently study with someone, just for some qualified advice. It seems like the 5RV and the B45 are the default choices of band directors, regardless of the ability or skill of the students. This does you no favors at all!. If one type of mouthpiece worked for everyone, there would not be hundreds of good mouthpieces from which to choose.
