Re: Why use a different mouthpiece

The late 1950's Leblanc Dynamic 2 I had for a while (nice instrument!) had its original Leblanc mouthpiece, which played quite nicely.

The ONLY reason I replaced that clarinet was that even though it seemed to play perfectly, to give it the overhaul it deserved looked like it would have cost me more than buying a new Ridenour Arioso for <$800. (Sold Leblanc for $350, net cost <$450. And I was never without a good horn to play.) Even that choice was up in the air until I had the Arioso in hand and was happy it played as well or better... I could have returned it otherwise.
