Thanks Bob! It means a lot to me. I think one of the things we need to all learn as clarinet players is to be more open minded. I see lots of students and teachers saying that one model is better than the other or that they must only play on this setup. However, every player is different and every mouthpiece or instrument is different and it is up to the player to decide if it fits them. To me, that's one of the hardest thing about playing the clarinet. It's so easy to get overwhelmed because there are so many components to the clarinet.
Going back to the original discussion, if you're playing on an unusable mouthpiece, I would first get a Clark and Forbes Debut mouthpiece until you develop a proper embouchure and get the muscles are strengthened up. Then, you can look for one that suits you better by looking for nuances you liked or disliked about the mouthpiece so you get one that fits you better. It's a really popular and standard mouthpiece so there will be people to help you pick on out!
In the end, you get to have a mouthpiece that fits you and not one that you try to fit in and a nice inexpensive mouthpiece for emergencies!
