Re: Replacement mouthpiece advice

4accord,
The fact that Chad is playing a 1010 clarinet somewhat limits his choice of mouthpieces to a specialist 1010 mouthpiece maker. I'm pretty sure that Vandoren don't have anything in their range that suits large-bore instruments such as the 1010 that wouldn't give him tuning issues. I've tried my 1010 with several pieces from Vandoren and several other French-style small bore instruments and the only one that tunes well is one that I heavily modified. Most French style mouthpieces have a conical bore and the 1010 requires a cylindrical bore. Also the 1010 mouthpiece is slightly shorter than the standard Vd offering.
