 Re: Alto Clarinet mouthpiece

Hey everyone, long time lurker here, wanted to share my experiences with my alto clarinet set up.

My alto is a Noblet, and my main set up is a Hite with Vandoren ZZ alto sax reeds #3. I can get a clear tone, good intonation, and decent projection with this set up. Lately I've been trying the stock Noblet mouthpiece, it has much better projection and clarity than the Hite but the tone can be too harsh and bright, and intonation is harder to control. I'm using an inverted metal Vandoren ligature that came with my horn, it really improves the response and opens up the sound compared to the stock ligature for either mouthpiece.

When I used to play a Bundy back in high school, I used a Yamaha 4C with a stock ligature. It played much better than the stock Bundy mouthpiece, but it's only decent compared to the Hite.

Out of curiosity I ordered an UMI (United Musical Instruments) mouthpiece on eBay. It plays OK, darker than the Hite but too stuffy. I still need to experiment more with reeds before passing final judgement.
