 Darker Mouthpiece

I am entering my junior year at William and Mary, and I am principal clarinet in the orchestra. For the past six months of my life (it feels like much longer) I have been on an extensive mouthpiece search. All my life I have played on a Vandoren 5RV lyre profile 88, and now I am looking for a mouthpiece with a deeper, DARKER sound. My teacher plays on a Pyne Signature ~M and I really like her sound. She's had me try it on several occassions, and I've loved it. Her backup is also a Pyne, and I loved that one, too. However, after trying over 50 Pynes from Woodwind and Brasswind, Muncy, Weiner, and even Pyne himself, I have yet to find one that is even close to either of hers. I've brought all of them into her, and she has agreed that none of them are even close to being as dark. So I sent Pyne her mouthpiece specifications and had one custom-made. It turned out to be the worst yet. Outside of Pynes, I have tried Morgan, Gigliotti, Vandoren M15, and Jewell. I haven't like any of them as much as my teacher's Pynes.

I'm very frustrated. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
