It seems funny in a way that when I was a student in Philadelphia most of the more experienced clarinetists in the area, all of whom played and were devoted to Henri Chedeville's mouthpieces, considered the Buffet stock mouthpieces to be mouthpiece-shaped-doorstops.
I've read more recently that many of those mouthpieces were indeed Chedevilles (though I think produced by Charles Chedeville, who was still in France and supplied many of the blanks Henri used), probably, as Ursa suggests, badly faced. I've always found the stories (sometimes legends) about who used Chedeville blanks confusing, so someone else may have a more reliable version. LeLandaise was also somehow involved - either as a distributor or a supplier of Chedeville blanks, I forget which.
As someone else suggested, I think I remember seeing a fairly detailed accounting on Brad Behn's website. Since the topic has come up, I think I'll go back and review it myself.
