Re: Yamaha C100 Mouthpiece?

As far as a place to go in the UK, Howarth's in London is likely your best bet.
Now as to what, the mouthpiece from a Yamaha YCL255 will be the Yamaha 4C. It will likely "fit", but you won't be doing your son any favors. At that level, either the Fobes "Debut", available at Howarth's according to their web site, is a much better choice, as is Brad Behn's "Overture" mouthpiece.

If you're interested in a higher level from that, if you go to Howarth's they carry many Vandoren's he can try, or you can try one of the D'Addario "Reserve" mouthpieces. They have several different facings available. An X5 would be a good place to start.
