Re: Brymer B1 mouthpiece

I have come across a few of the Brymer mouthpieces in the past but also heard the story, come to think of it possibly from the man himself, that Brymer was not very happy with the quality control of those pieces.

It was a rather common thing for manufacturers to attempt to capitalise on the marketing values of their key artists.
In earlier years they produced a similar range of mouthpieces in 3 facings under the name of Reg Kell.

I am pretty sure that all the mouthpieces that B&H marketed that were intended for the wide bore 1010 actually had the mark 1010 etched on them. Certainly the Kell ones did.
But even for B&H the sale of 1010 clarinets represented only a small fraction of their clarinet output so any mouthpieces produced would have had to include the much more numerous smaller bore variants.
