With all of the mouthpiece discussion in direct response to your question, you haven't described the clarinet you got her. Was it bought new from a dealer or used from an auction website or some other source? You say you hope it's an upgrade. I'm curious as to what it is. It needs to be in very good working condition for any mouthpiece to work well.

I like the idea, too, of having her use the same mouthpiece for at least a couple of weeks or a month so she's only making one change at a time. Sometimes if a new setup doesn't play as easily as an old one and everything - instrument, mouthpiece and reeds - has changed all at once, it's hard to know which one or what combination is causing problems. Or whether the new equipment is just different and needs getting used to.

Her clarinet teacher should be able to help with all of this.
