Harold Wright Replica Mouthpiece

For the awareness of double lip players, there is a Harold Wright replica mouthpiece available; I can say from experience that it plays better than a mouthpiece custom made for me by Kal Opperman in 1973. Here is the description:
HWC – this is a replica of Harold Wright’s Chedeville soprano clarinet mouthpiece, using Everett Matson’s measurements of Wright’s facing. It is a beautiful rendering by Bradford Behn of Harold Wright’s concept sound. This product is exclusive to bassclarinet.net, and is a joint effort between Michael Drapkin (bassclarinet.net), Bradford Behn (who manufactures the product) and Andy Stevens, clarinetist of the Colorado Symphony, who studied clarinet mouthpiece facing with Everett Matson and recorded Wright’s mouthpiece measurements.
It is available at https://www.bassclarinet.net/product/hwc/
