While I don't think that if anyone possessed it, other than Drucker, would it make them play like Drucker, I am curious about it.
I understand it was a Landelais, which may be hard, at the time is was made, to distinguish it from a Chedeville, given what I am to understand about the history of each company, and how Landelais bought out Charles (as opposed to Henri) Chedeville http://chedevillemp.com/rbuy/history-mouthpieces/.
I also want to say it has a 1.05 mm tip http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=257233&t=257201 and was made of hard rod rubber not easily duplicated today (with respect to Chedeville today http://chedevillemp.com/rbuy/ ). Furthermore, I've heard that it's slightly assymetrical.
But what else do people know about this mouthpiece, in terms of the attributes that we normally associate with a mouthpiece, that make it play differently, such as facing length, rail width, beak, and internal dimensions, etc.?
Is there, for example, a Vandoren or other company's stock mouthpiece that most compares to it, (if only in physical measurements, not materials) other, again, than product which Chedeville might be producing now (Ridenour, Forbes, etc.)?

Thank you for your reply Glenn. I too saw Drucker play clarinet with his wife in one or more Long Island Public Libraries, as I grew up there.
Sadly, that thread you refer to, which I have seen, only adds that Matson originally faced the mouthpiece, and that he has 4 somewhat backups for it.
But again: thanks for offering what you know.

Stanley Drucker is scheduled to perform the Brahms clarinet sonatas at the Clarinet Fest 2014 on Friday, August 1 in Baton Rouge, LA, beginning at 5:00 pm in the Louisiana State University Union Theater Room. Earlier that same day, in the same room, from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm, he will appear in a discussion panel with Naomi Drucker, Larry Combs, and Lawrence Sobol.
One of those occasions might be a good time to meet him and inquire further into his mouthpieces. Perhaps he can even show you one.

No two people can ever sound alike just because they use the same mouthpiece.

Try the Theodore Johnson TJ3. It is an amazing mouthpiece.
