mouthpiece pitch

Author: LC007

Hello Clarinetists,

I am having trouble understanding the pitch of my mouthpiece. I have a D'addario Reserve X5 which is apparently tuned to A441 and a VD B45 which is tuned to A442. So when I am practicing in front of my tuner, should I set the tuner to A=441 (or 442) and try to blow notes in tune at those settings? Or should I set the tuner to A=440 , which is what all music (that I am familiar with) is using.
And besides, is a 1 or 2 hz difference really discernible?
