Re: Finding a Mouthpiece

Welcome to the club! Most serious clarinetists have their cupboards filled with rejected mouthpieces. First you fall in love with the mouthpiece, then you get used to it, then bored and after that you go for a new one. Luckily clarinet mouthpieces are relatively cheap... Don't trust anyone, who says that a certain maker or a model is definitely the best. The only ones worth listening to are the ones, that can state some believable data on, how certain measurements and qualities may effect your playing and in which direction.

By the way, it's unbelievable how, no matter what change they make, most players end in the long run sound their old themselves.
