What is the best clarinet mouthpiece?

In: Woodwind Instruments, Clarinet [Edit categories]

Answer:

There are many good choices depending on your level of playing ability. If your a new clarinetist, go with Vandoren mouthpieces such as the B45. Slightly more advanced players may want to try the Vandoren M13. If you are at a professional level, you will probably want to go with the handmade mouthpieces. I would highly recommend Brad Behn at www.clarinetmouthpiece.com. His vintage line is truly amazing. Others I would also recommend are Walter Grabner, Richard Hawkins, Clark Fobes, and Ridenour.
