While you're trying new mouthpieces, try the new Reserve X10E. Though this may have been produced with the European market in mind ("E" for European), this model and the more open Reserve X15E (which Julien Herve of the Rotterdam Philharmonic plays) may have considerable appeal for American clarinetists who like more open facings. I'm not sure of exactly what changes were made in the design of the Reserve E models, but for me they have a cooler, more sophisticated timbre than the original models. The facings are much too open for my taste, but I have a good mouthpiece tech put closer facings (tip opening of 1.01 or 1.02 mm) on them and I like them just fine that way--very resonant, focused and colorful with a strong fff, a nice and easy ppp and everything in between.
