While I don't think that if anyone possessed it, other than Drucker, would it make them play like Drucker, I am curious about it.
I understand it was a Landelais, which may be hard, at the time is was made, to distinguish it from a Chedeville, given what I am to understand about the history of each company, and how Landelais bought out Charles (as opposed to Henri) Chedeville http://chedevillemp.com/rbuy/history-mouthpieces/.
I also want to say it has a 1.05 mm tip http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=257233&t=257201 and was made of hard rod rubber not easily duplicated today (with respect to Chedeville today http://chedevillemp.com/rbuy/ ). Furthermore, I've heard that it's slightly assymetrical.
But what else do people know about this mouthpiece, in terms of the attributes that we normally associate with a mouthpiece, that make it play differently, such as facing length, rail width, beak, and internal dimensions, etc.?
Is there, for example, a Vandoren or other company's stock mouthpiece that most compares to it, (if only in physical measurements, not materials) other, again, than product which Chedeville might be producing now (Ridenour, Forbes, etc.)?
