There was a mouthpiece branded "Perier" that came with Cousnon clarinets. I have found 3 of these over the years, the first 2 were EXCELLENT, the 3rd one hasn't been rendered playable just yet, and appears to have some dimension issues (uneven rails etc) that will require a bit more work than the other two.
If you find one of these, hang on to it!!!!!!!
It's a pity that news about the Sumner acousticut has spread, for a while they were available for next to nothing. They are great because they have some of the qualities of the vintage chedevilles (concentrated sound, a ringing brightness that isn't harsh) while having enough depth and darkness to sit next to modern sounds (so, "a bit of both worlds"). I LOVE the vintage sounds, but the rest of the world isn't always as keen on them as we are, so I find the Sumner to be a useful blank.
