I’m looking to get my hands on some vintage Mitchell Lurie Eb Clarinet mouthpieces. They were made in both hard rubber and crystal - looking for both!
Does anyone here in the forum have these in their equipment archives or know where I might be able to track one down!
Thanks!

I could probably find a ML Bb (hard rubber) for you, but not an Eb one. My experience with these was that they had a very unique sound- dark but clear, quite thin rails that gave a really immediate articulation and ringing clarity. About half of the ones I've tried have had problems with the beak/baffle being unbalanced and this created odd whistles and squeaks when articulating... and it was a losing game trying to balance them out and restore symmetry, but the ones that WORKED were really interesting! (going back to the 1980s, the first time my playing was recorded and didn't sound embarrassing was using one of these! My teacher from 1984-87 wrecked it by attempting to reface it).
