I did a search here and found no information on these. Has anyone tried the M&M clarinet mouthpieces? If so, how were they?

I was about to ask, "Plain or peanut," but I'll resist.
The only recent reference I've found, using the search function, is to the posting of a board member, Clarimeister, in praise of his M & M mouthpiece, with a close facing. Other than that, you'll have to wait for fresh replies. This seems to be a relatively new shop, in California, which was first noted on the board by GBK in February.

^M&M's sound really good right now LOL
I recently bought a Mike Vaccaro M&M mouthpiece a couple months ago and they are absolutely amazing. I had the privilege of visiting his shop in Long Beach, CA and tried about 15-20 different ones out of the box that he had and found THE ONE. The great thing is that he will personally work with you and give you feedback on what he thinks it sounds like to him. He will also work with you to get you the mouthpiece that you are looking for. I told him I play on a this and that with a this reed etc etc. And he pulled one out of the box and it ended up being the one I've been looking for, for a loooong time. He is not looking to make money as his top priority when it comes to his mouthpieces. He is looking very, very much on getting you what you want. I recommend you send him an email, he is extremely prompt in getting back to you, and see what he can do for you, assuming you're looking for one. He has a variety of facings. He has two different blanks that he uses one being Hans Zinner blanks which are always ultra popular and very nice sounding (I have the zinner one) and another blank which I cannot name off the top of my head. I'll get back to you on that. Hope this helps you out.
