Re: After 57 years

I began playing clarinet for the first time when I was 70, and for a year or so I also had some embouchure troubles with air leaking after some time of playing. Now that occurs only rarely after prolongued playing. At the same time I began a bit of collecting fine vintage clarinets and so came across some quite good old mouthpieces between which I can choose. For years now I am preferring a (German system!) medium lengt/ medium opening mouthpiece equivalent to Wurlitzer 4/2.
I also contemplated switching to a plastic reed but till now stayed with "reed"- reeds strength 2 1/2 to 3 so I can try out a number of them for little money.
A propos Yamaha: the student grade (German system) Yamahas have quite a good reputation and are widely used over here- except the original Yamaha mouthpieces which are looked at as inferior and exchanged as soon as possible.
