Re: mouthpiece change

Thank you for your thoughts & advice NBeatty. The M13 Lyre changed gradually but sort of suddenly, if that makes any sense. It could well be I changed, but I don't think that's the problem. I've played it 2-4 hours a day for something like 8 years, probably more. Ref. the recent thread by me, "do mouthpieces wear out?" http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=461097&t=461097 Lots of interesting commentary plus other links there.

When I call the store I'll also ask if they have someone who can measure facings.

I plan to warm up with my current stuff before trying new mouthpieces.

Interesting advice about the Rovner. Mouthpieces will be the focus this pass, and after a time and I'm satisfied with a new one, I'll look into ligatures. Thank you for the recommendations.

Hmm - for some reason I expected caps to come with the mouthpieces. Do they also (or instead?) come with ligatures?
