I've played a Fobes barrel for quite a few years on my Bb clarinet and played a San Francisco RR Facing Bass Clarinet mouthpiece for about 9 years until my current infatuation with the Vandoren B50 began last year.

I've also been playing on a San Francisco CF soprano clarinet mouthpiece for the better part of the last year and have been completely happy with it. I tried it along with the CWF and the CF+ and choosing between those three was was very difficult. The CWF is gorgeous and dark and the CF+ has a sweet and flexible tone, but I am absolutely in love with the focus, clarity and tone color of the CF.

On top of all of that, every time I've reached out to Clark with questions, he's been quick to respond with honest helpful advice.

If I find myself in an orchestra again, I'm going to take that as an excuse to pick up a Fobes barrel for my A clarinet!
