So, if mouthpieces make little difference in your sound (granted that it does not get in the way), then all mouthpiece makers describing the sound quality of their individual products are bs-ing us?


No, they're not bs-ing us. They are attempting to describe an intangible quality to the best of their ability -- and their descriptors are rooted in their experience of what the mouthpiece does for their sound in general.

The clear mental conception of their individual sound will work to steer a mouthpiece to be what is in the clarinetist's head.

Now if a musician doesn't have a clear mental conception of what their sound is, they're more at the mercy of what the mouthpiece/equipment "does" for them.

I think it's better to say it like this: If the individual's mental conception and the equipment's playing characteristics are well aligned, the musician will have an easier time producing their mental conception -- and that ease-of-play translates tangibly to the audience.
