The M30 is the mouthpiece I am most comfortable with and the one I use for reference. I'd say the Vandoren clips tell more about the MP than the clarinet. The only way to find out differences between clarinets is to repeatedly switch the mouthpiece from one clarinet to the other. I always find out that clarinets give only very subtle differences in tone compared to the difference a reed/mouthpiece combination can make. Clarinets can have some other substantial differences though, like resistance, evenness and intonation.

I haven't listened to Mr. Meloni that extensively but so far I find him a little careless in his playing. The fast passages are not as clear as I would like and there are some intonation issues in the Poulenc sonata.

So it seems we disagree on two issues out of two.

The good news is that we don't have to agree. :-)
