Hand-faced mouthpieces

Author: Wayne R.

Hi all,
I am returning to playing clarinet after a long absence (hooray!) and am looking for an affordable, free blowing, hand-faced mouthpiece with a medium (at very least) to medium open (much preferred) tip. Any recommendations for relatively inexpensive (say $30-$50 or so) hand faced mouthpieces? I am not a mouthpiece snob, as I spent my earlier years playing a Selmer #3 plastic student mouthpiece (horrors!) which earned me a college scholarship. Time to move up a little in the world, and I thank you for your kind recommendations.
(Many thanks to John for his kind recommendation of the Pomaricos, which I may indeed try if and when the extra cash appears.)
I am currently playing a Leblanc Esprit, and could care less about "dark" stuffy feeling and/or sounding mouthpieces...open and moderately bright are just fine in my book!
