The Brilhart mouthpiece is probably not the original. Don't worry about it. Most clarinets come with very cheap mouthpieces that are thrown away in favour of whatever expensive mouthpiece the player favours.

The "little part the mouthpiece fits into" is called the barrel. I think beejay is saying that the upper socket of the barrel had a smaller than standard diameter, so he had to file down a standard mouthpiece to make it fit.

A CSO is a "clarinet-shaped object" - a very cheap and nasty instrument. Or a Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Problems with the middle B are common. See my post within http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=216166&t=216166.

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.

To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.
