Thanks to both of you for the illustrative links. Listening to these performances, I agree that the resultant tone quality is reminiscent of the darkest Nick Kuckmeier model mouthpiece. But looking at the page from Howarth, I am puzzled. It describes Licostini model RS as capable of "large projection and many harmonics" and model RG as featuring a "very clean piano," characteristics that are directly opposite to the dark shadowy sounds we're hearing in these performances. And if Licostini mostly copies other mouthpieces, I wonder which mouthpieces he copied in the RS and RG models? The only two Licostinis I've tried so far had other model numbers than any of these and played very dull and stuffy for me but in all fairness, I'd like to try the ones that are described with features I usually like. Also, to be fair, Zoe, one of the commentators on the young German clarinetist's performance, singled out the tone for special admiration. We all have different taste in these matters. I probably would not be interested in the A1, but I would be curious to try the RS and RG.
Howarth put up a video of Julia Raga Pascual playing the FDC (1.07 mm, 19) Licostini model: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=howarth+licostini-mouthpiece. Also, the young virtuoso Gloria Uberto plays a Licostini on her Patricola clarinet.
