One mouthpiece that works well for some students that I neglected to mention is the ESM (Ernst Schreiber) MCK1 model. This German mouthpiece for regular Boehm clarinets is made of high quality acrylic rather than rubber, has a facing open 1.03 mm at the tip, and is 18 in length. It sells on internet for about $107.00, and a few retail stores carry it. The standard model comes in opaque black acrylic (though there is also a transparent "blue heaven" model as well.) For about $40 more, both the black and the blue models can be had with a metal ring added to the tenon. I cannot detect much difference in the (pleasant) sound or response with or without the tenon. I've tried at least 5 of these, and they have been very consistent.
