You can use German mouthpieces on Boehm clarinets. There is very little adjustment for pitch needed. With the "traditional" set up of the LONG facing and SMALL tip opening used with a strength 2 1/2 reed you get a very pure, dynamic sound with little (if any by US standards) resistance.

I have had wonderful results with the Gleichweit D4 paired with Vandoren White Master German Bb clarinet/Traditional cut (available at Frederic Weiner , OR a Gleichweit D4-2 with Legere Bb Classic (also Weiner) if you prefer synthetic. The Gleichweit mouthpieces also come in fun colors.....if you like that sort of thing (I have both the clear green and clear orange versions!).
