 Re: What was so special about Chedeville mouthpieces?

Of course there's the material, and there are the dimensions. Like with the Kaspars, a LOT of the "magic" comes from a combination of bore, chamber and baffle profiles and dimensions that would have been "fine tuned" by hand in many cases.
I played a few Chedevilles in the 1990s/early 2000s (not for extensive lengths of time, but long enough to experience some of the "magic") and the thing that struck me most about them was not just the ringing sound, but a feeling that the mouthpiece was "glowing" with the sound. Brightness, resonance, resistance and focus were interacting just right.
I'm still in the playing positions I was in when I wrote the 2019 post (though 2020 provided barely any performance opportunities), with conductors who think the clarinet should sound "dark and mellow" and tolerate a "ringing" tone quality only because the principal oboe and bassoon both come out and say "we will only play with donald" (heh heh, good to have friends!).
