Tom, the notion of the 576BC taming the B45 pretty much sums up my experience with that setup. Mr. Ridenour has stated that a certain working resistance is required to play the clarinet most efficiently, and both the mouthpiece and the instrument contribute to this working resistance. With the 576BC, the resistance is built into the clarinet, and does not need to enhanced much by a mouthpiece for efficient playing. The B45 responds effortlessly and with excellent control on the 576BC, and I prefer 56 Rue Lepic reeds on this combo.
Put the B45/56RL on a free-blowing horn such as a Selmer Centered Tone, and it's a recipe for total disaster for classical clarinet playing. The resistance just isn't there--pitch, dynamic, and articulation control go right out the window.
