 Re: Alto Clarinet mouthpiece

An addendum to my previous post. I'm currently borrowing a LeBlanc basset horn, and since it's functionally an alto clarinet in F, I get to experiment with more set ups.

The stock LeBlanc mouthpiece plays like a better version of the stock Noblet. Still clear, loud, bright, and maybe harsh, but with better response and intonation. My other alto set ups play about the same on the basset.

As for the LeBlanc basset vs. the Noblet alto, there's no comparison, the basset is a professional level instrument while the Noblet was marketed as intermediate iirc. Nevertheless it's still an alto clarinet! The basset plays better but they sound just about the same. A clarinetist might be able to distinguish the two from which notes are over vs. under the break, but the audience wouldn't be able to tell the difference in a live performance.

I have no doubt that an equivalent instrument in Eb (and let's keep the extended range while we're at it) would play just as well. My preference is still for an instrument in Eb, I'm too used to thinking in Bb or Eb for clarinets. Having to think in F was a serious mental exercise!
