 Identifying a mouthpiece
Author: joggfuzz

Hello! I've recently acquired this mouthpiece attached to a clarinet in very poor condition, the mouthpiece itself seems to be quite well kept however. I was just wondering if any of you guys happen to know anything about it.

I would bet that giving some details of any markings and some pics would help people make some suggestions

Here is the mouthpiece

Other than what is in the image there are no markings.

Probably a good mouthpiece blank (the condition of the rails will influence this), but the facing already on it is most likely a bit crap (IF it hasn't already been refaced).
I sold one for $150 US$ a year or so back, but there's no guarantee that you'll get that much.

Hard to say without seeing more. There are the legendary Lelandais that are really great, but also many that have a Lelandais or Chedeville name that are good, but nothing amazing. It also depends as mentioned, whether it has been refaced or not and by whom. Some have been worked on by master refacers and may be better than the originals and some have been butchered.

You might contact Ramon Wodkowski or Brad Behn and get their thoughts
