Re: R 13 (1974) ~ barrel length, throat tones, mouthpieces

The VD mouthpiece is ostensibly designed to be used on German clarinets (though the tenon on one I tried back in the late 90s was too small to work on a real German clarinet), and I would surmise that the internal dimensions will only wreack havoc on the internal pitch of an American pitch Buffet.

Just try a normal mouthpiece (non 13 Series 5RV Lyre). I think a typical mouthpiece and a 66mm barrel (what most of us used back then anyway) should even things out.
