Ok, I'd like to tweak my response. There are some general characteristics to a mouthpiece's sound based on what is easier for you to do with it. Although it is truer to say what James says above. A player will take on a new mouthpiece and assimilate its characteristics into the the way he or she plays.


There is quite a bit of "marketing" lingo out there to get customers to buy mouthpieces (can't blame a guy for trying). My favorite is the claim that a mouthpiece has a "dark sound" which has mostly been code for "it plays at a slightly lower pitch." As far as Vandorens go, that would be the 13 Series versions of their mouthpieces (I try to avoid these). The 'standard pitch' versions of their mouthpieces are much better acoustic matches for clarinet in my opinion. Why buy a mouthpiece that forces you to work harder to keep in tune and forces you to buy more barrels to solve the very problem they cause? Just silliness.
