Johnny,

I wish I could remember where I read the following: The great majority of clarinet players play on mouthpieces where the tip opening difference is less than 0.5mm. (That's 0.0197".)

The smallest tip opening of the majority of French mpcs is right around 1.00mm. (Think Vandoren M13, Fobes Debut, etc. )

The popular B40, B45 and the B45 dot all come in at 1.19mm.

The 5JB mpc dubbed by Vandodren as "THE jazz mpc" is 1.47mm.

So, here, the maximum difference is just under 0.5mm.

IMHO, the majority of players using French mpcs don't go over 1.20mm.

It's extremely hard to tell the difference between 1.00mm and 1.19mm.

That's less than 0.2mm or 0.008".

I'm not surprised at all that you can't tell the difference between your 5-6 mpcs.

I wouldn't be able to do it either.
