Choosing New Mouthpiece

Author: reclarinet

I have a Bb clarinet - Yamaha Custom CSV model,
with
Rovner Eddie Daniel II Ligature,
Vandoren B45 Lyre mouthpiece,
and Zonda Reed (Size 3, 3.5)

with this combination, i found that my intonation is quite sharp.
i think the problem is come from the mouthpiece, maybe the mouthpiece not suitable with my embochure, as my clarinet teacher also saying the same thing after trying out with this mouthpiece.

so, any model of Vandoren mouthpiece that can make my intonation flat a bit ?

thanks a lot

any vandoren mouthpiece in the 13 series will be lower. Also, you could consider another barrel. What length barrel are u using?

perhaps with the 65 mm barrel and the higher vandoren mpc, you are sharp. Perhaps try a 66 mm barrel, that is if u like ur current mouthpiece. I'd switch to something longer and closer, like an M15 vandoren 440 pitch
