Yes -- I have several short mouthpieces that came in the cases with vintage or antique clarinets. Not one of those short mouthpieces plays well on any modern clarinet I own. Aside from the higher overall pitch, they mess up the intonation on the throat tones, especially, so that some notes come in flat and others sharp. Similarly, my modern mouthpieces rarely play well on old clarinets.
