Mouthpiece for Clarinet in C

Author: KidBuffet
Date: 2025-08-03 00:10

Good day,
New here posting, but have been checking in to learn about Clarinets, for some time.
Kid Buffet, or the Buffet Kid, was not an endearing nickname, back in '62.
All new MKVI saxophones, in the Symphonic Band, in NYC, and I played a new Buffet.

Life can be so cruel.

To the point. To get an old 2 ring, with the patent C#, Albert System Clarinet in C, to play A440, or thereabouts, I am using a Selmer HS*.
Other than tip opening, what are the differences between the HS*
and the HS** ?
These would be the more recent versions.

Thanks,
KB.

I'll get back with the old Clarinet specs and my MP experiments.

I wish I could help. I have a Carl Fischer-branded Buffet Albert system, also in C. Nothing else fits the barrel other than the original wooden Buffet mouthpiece. One day I'll get it repadded and try to play it, but I have tried to fit other mouthpieces to my C clarinet barrel.
