Re: upgrading an E11

Yes, I agree that I need a teacher

But I am a recent graduate, and haven't had some private lessons in awhile. I have kept up with my clarinet in a pro freelance orchestra. I was referring to my current Buffet E11. On the Bboard threads, I noticed how many negative things were being said about the E11, but I've also read a lot of good reviews on this instrument and so far it has served me well as an advaced player. I think my orchestra tunes to A=440. I am actually using a Vandoren 5RV Lyre 13 series. Does this mouthpiece tune to 440 since it is a 13 series? Somehow, I just felt that my clarinet was sharp and not in tune with the orchestra. My clarinet buddy uses a Vandoren B40 mouthpiece and loves it. I love it how she was able to play all her 1st solo parts well and in better tone on her R13. Also, I am trying to find a mouthpiece where I have a much better projection and tone as I sometimes play solos. Any suggestions on some mouthpiece models? Although I use Vandoren and Buffet a lot, I am open to other brands. At this point, I don't see myself upgrading to a better Buffet pro model as I am saving some of my finances for it later
