LT125, it depends on your clarinet. RB is not really a standard between brands and even within a single maker differences have occured in time:

H. Wurlitzer has stopped making RB mouthpieces as their newer RB clarinets use German mouthpieces. But in de old days (1980-1990) the Wurlitzer RB clarinets were designed to play with their RB mouthpieces. Afaik the internal dimensions (chamber, bore) were larger resulting in a larger sound and different intonation, especially in the throat area and the altissimo. But modern Wurlitzer RB clarinets will be out of tune using the RB mouthpiece version.

So, a special RB mouthpiece is not always the "better" option. Always try before you buy.
