Hi Cath,

I have a number of Pomerico mouthpieces on my Buffets [R13, Festivals, RC and Vintage R13]. I really like them, but I have found it necessary to stick a small pad on the top side to help stability and because I did not like the feel of my teeth touching the "glass". [It also helps deal with my several chipped front teeth from when I was a lad and playing the fool with mates.]

Very many years ago when I started playing I had a B&H Emperor and tried a Vandoren 7* [I think] on it. After being tossed out of orchestra practice for repeated squeaking in the opening bars of Kol Nidrei I was told by my clarinet teacher [past Principal of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra] that the Vandoren 7* did not suit a B&H clarinet. She gave me a different mouthpiece and I stopped squeaking. I might add that I have an old SML on my Selmer St. Louis which did not "like" Pomericos and my Selmer CT from 1954 has a Vandoren B45 - it also does not "like" Pomericos.

Good luck,

Jim
