Re: How Many Mouthpieces Do You Own

I was in the (very small) category of folks who picked one mouthpiece and played on it forever (or at least the 9 years of my army band career.)

When I returned to clarinet last year and had that mouthpiece reworked (because I was told it was very wrapped – yeah, not doubt), I didn’t like it as much so I decided to order two Behn mouthpieces (in slightly different facings). Why did I select Behn? Honestly, because I was impressed with the level of detail on his website and when I talked to him he was very friendly and informative.

I still remember the first time I played on my new Behn mouthpiece. At first I couldn’t believe how good I sounded. I mean OMG (I don’t use that phrase often but it’s appropriate here) my sound was just beautiful. My second reaction was I felt like kicking myself for sticking with my old mouthpiece all these years.

With two Behn mouthpieces that give me a slightly different sound, I’m very satisfied now, so I’ll probably fall back into my old habit and just stick with what I’ve got. Or I may take the advice of others on this board and purchase two more identical mouthpieces so I’ll have spares to fall back on.
