Re: HS Student Moutpieces

The best student (ms/hs) mouthpiece is the Theodore Johnson TJ1.

Relatively unknown, Ted was for many years (38+) in the Cleveland Orchestra and s Jerome Stowell Chicago Symphony clarinet guru-trained). You can purchase one for around $35.00. Check Amazon.

I play on his TJ3+ (more expensive/Zimmer blank). I used Cicero Kaper mouthpieces for years as I was born and rased five blocks from his home and used to go over and watch him make mouthpieces. I play professionally in a tier two symphony and solo clarinet in a super-regional symphonic wind ensemble,

Both mouthpieces are quite superior to the Vandoren as they are original Kasper facings with added tweaks.
