Re: First blows on a Kaspar

I've tried several Kaspars in my career and never felt comfortable with any. My quetion is this. Is there a single Kaspar, or even Chedeville, that hasn't been refaced half a dozen times? And then there are all those manufactures that claim they imitated a Kaspar or Chedeville perfectly and or developed the exact material the blank was made from. Bottom line, I've heard players sound beautiful on Kaspers, Chedevilles, Vandorens, Bays, Morgans, you name it and there's some players that sound great on what ever they use. Yesterday I heard Morals play the Weber 2nd in Philly with his new Uebel clarinet he's working on with the company and assumed he was still using his Backun mouthpiece he helped develope but in fact he's now using a Vandoren mouthpiece for the time being and he sounds wonderful. My point is, more than the mouthpiece, it's the player. Find the one that you sound and feel best on no matter what name is on it.
