Mouthpiece Work / Clarinet curves

SUBJECT: Clarinet curves
Merlin, I have also been looking for clarinet mpc. curve info. The Santy Runyon article in the files here was helpful, but basically just advocates for a radial curve. Like many of us, I have a drawer full of not-so-good Buffetts, Vandorens, Yamahas, etc. to work on. I'll measure my Robert Scott mouthpiece (plays great - he makes them from Zinner blanks) and send you the data to add to your collection. Keep me posted as you get data on good-playing mouthpieces. Also, do you have any jazz vs. classical insights? Dan
