That simple fit mouthpiece was a long time coming. Personally, I'm surprised it took this long to get to clarinet.

It's pretty much the same thing as those theo wanne sax mouthpieces that have an integrated ligature built into them. Same mechanism too - one screw on the front to tighten a metal plate, not unlike the Francois Louis mechanism, if it were glued permanently to a mouthpiece.

Seems like clarinet mouthpieces are falling behind those sax ones. Darn it! I want my metal clarinet mouthpiece so it can last forever!!!

THe only thing is, if you get that simple fit mouthpiece, well, you're stuck with a simple fit mouthpiece. Not a bad idea for the beginner beginner type though. I wonder what they play like.....

EDIT, also, for the record, I am not comparing a simplefit mouthpiece to a theo wanna durga in quality. Only in mechanism of attached ligature with one thumbscrew pushing a plate into the reed.
