Selmer Goldentone Mouthpiece

I know, I know: Yet another query about appropriate mouthpieces for beginners.

I'm an adult newbie learning on my mom's Selmer Bundy Resonite from (I think!) the 1950s, which has a Selmer Goldentone mouthpiece that may also be vintage. The mouthpiece appears to be in decent shape, but I'm wondering if an upgrade to, perhaps, a Clark Fobes Debut would be in order.

I've been playing on this setup since I started learning in January. I'm having a lesson tomorrow and will ask my teacher, but since I've been lurking around this forum know that you fine people have "opinions."

Just want to make sure my mouthpiece isn't holding me back from sounding the best I can at this early stage.

I'm in southern Ontario, Canada, and my local music store doesn't have much of a selection to try before I buy, so I'm thinking of ordering a safe bet online instead.

Many thanks --
Beth
