I play a clarinet mouthpiece Vandoren BD5 and like it, however, I believe I can use something that will help with the notes around the break of the clarinet, C's, B's, etc.. I'm thinking a slightly more open mouthpiece than the BD5? Does that make sense? Any input i appreciated. Or is my issue more instrument and/or reed related?
The BD5 in my opinion, is a completely different mouthpiece. It's not like any other one because the voicing to achieve a good tone is a lot more different from other mouthpieces and it's a lot more resistant than other ones. The BD5 i play on actually excels on notes around the break because it projects to well on the upper clarion register.
If you're looking for a more free blowing/open mouthpiece, just look anywhere else. I believe the BD5 is one of the most resistant mouthpieces. I don't have a recommendation but there are some very experienced players on this forum who can help you!
