Many years ago when I was working on my masters, I was taking a class and needed my clarinet that evening. The class was about 20 minutes from my house, and I was running late. After getting most of the way there, I remembered that I had taken my mouthpiece out of the case for some reason and left it behind. Fortunately, there was a music store nearby that was still open. I rushed in and bought a cheap plastic mouthpiece. It did the job.
When I was an undergrad, a professor told me a story about a famous clarinet player (it might have been Gervase de Peyer) who was doing a performance of the Stravinsky Octet. After the performance began, he realized he needed both his B-flat and his A, and he had only one of the two. I'm not sure what he did, but that couldn't have been easy music to transpose.
I seem to remember Ed Palanker sharing a great story a while back about an orchestral clarinet player who forgot (or neglected) to bring his E-flat while his orchestra was on tour. Ed, if you're reading this could you share the story again or provide the link?
