Re: German mpc/French Clarinet

I'm not much of a player, but I've been using refaced Vandoren German-system and Austrian-system mouthpieces on a medium-large bore Boosey & Hawkes Boehm clarinet with no adverse effects. Have also been using a HIGHLY-modified Hammerschmidt wood German-system bass clarinet mouthpiece (which was originally similar in size to a French-style ALTO clarinet mouthpiece) on my metal Kohlert Boehm-system bass clarinet --- but to make this work I had to lengthen the mouthpiece, deepen the baffle, and severely enlarge the bore, actually making it somewhat conical from the window to the tenon to match its bore to that of the bass clarinet neck. It was purely an experiment and hardly worth the effort, realistically, but it actually works now and is my primary bass clarinet mouthpiece. FWIW.......
