Re: Eb mouthpieces

My Eb mpcies are a Charles Bay custom & vintage Selmer C**. I like the Selmer for its altissimo response and intonation. The Bay--a Chedeville blank, I think--plays with a relatively warm sound, but is a bit more difficult in the altissimo range. On both, I use a Winslow ligature which adds resonance--even a bit of "warmth"--to the sound. My clarinet is an older Yamaha 620, but both mpcies work quite well on my (even older) Bundy Resonite effer.

FWIW, if I were looking for a modern Eb mouthpiece, I would definately go with the mouthpiece craftsman who is also an active, performing artist--and IMHO, there is none better than Gregory Smith.
