Objective testing of resistance in clarinets

Hi Folks,

I read the many responses about R13s in another posting and was interested as I have a number of different clarinets: Selmer and Buffet [several of the R13 family]. For various reasons - not playing for about four years due to hand surgery and an enthusiastic dentist grinding one of my chipped front teeth - I am having to sort through different mouthpieces and develop a new embouchure. I know that different mouthpieces with different configurations blow harder or easier. In a sense that can be tested subjectively by me, but is there any objective way of testing resistance of a standard rate/volume of air flow down through the body of an instrument?
