Hi RWitt001. That's good advice you've been given here.
The Clarinet (Schreiber 6010s)you got second hand is an excellent beginners plastic Clarinet. It has silver plated mechanism which looks very nice with the shiny black plastic body of the instrument. I assume it also has the wrap around speaker key whereas the resonance tube extends almost 3mm outside therefore minimizing the obstruction within the bore, an excellent design feature.
I have one , and together with my Jupiter student Clarinet is one of my favourite Clarinets. I purchased mine new about 4 years ago from Sax & Woodwind Camperdown NSW and it came with a plastic molded mouthpiece, an ESM F3A. which works just fine on this instrument. As mentioned above, the Clark Fobes Debut may also work very well on it. I use a variety of Vandoren mouthpieces on my 6010s including the standard B40 with success. Also , if you can , try the Hite MP as well.
If your Clarinet has the wrap around speaker key , be careful putting the tuning barrel on that you don't make contact with this part of the mechanism as it's easy to bend out of alinement and therefore not sealing the speaker key tone hole. Check to see if that hasn't already happen as it may be the cause of the problems you're having.
