 Re: How can I choose between two excellent mouthpieces?

If the mouthpieces are both great and give you a different vibe when playing then you should keep both unless cash is a serious issue. I have 2 mouthpieces in constant use but I have two clarinets. These are a Fobes 4L and a Grabner K14. My clarinet playing is largely in folk music (klezmer, choro, bluegrass and dixie) and big band so for me it is often a tradeoff between volume and pitch control. For loud settings I use the Fobes with my Centered Tone and for intimate exposed settings i use the Grabner with my Series 9 (a more refined instrument). They have the same tip opening but the Grabner has a shorter facing and smaller bore.
