Re: Robert Marcellus's mouthpiece

I took a lesson with him way back a year or two after I was already in the Baltimore Symphony as the bass clarinetist. He tried my Wells mouthpiece I was using at the time and he said, that's a pretty good mouthpiece. After a while he suggested I hold the clarinet out a little bit more and said, "you play pretty well for a bass clarinet player". I said, I'm a clarinet player that specializes on the bass, he laughed. After our lesson we ended up at the Carnegie Taven quite by accident. Clevland was playing in NY and I came in for a lesson, my family still lived there than. By the way, years later when he came out with "his" mouthpiece I bought a few but never used one. Some were good enough for some of my students though.
