Re: The most underrated mouthpieces/blanks

I agree on the vintage Noblet 'pieces with the ornate ligature line. I touched up the facing on an X4 that came with a c. 1951 Normandy clarinet and it turned out to be a fine player indeed.

Also worked on an Evette & Schaeffer C, which uses the same blank as the Buffet C. It turned out to be excellent, and a nice backup to my main mouthpiece--a Grabner K14e.

There was once a pre-Leblanc Woodwind Company Steel Ebonite G7 in my studio that was a great player, and about the only mouthpiece that would tune well with the Bundy 1400 I once owned.

I have a couple Selmer HS-Star 'pieces and while I love the focused tone and easy response, they yield faulty intonation on all of my performance instruments.
