Mouthpiece Work / Clarinet "blanks"

SUBJECT: Clarinet "blanks"
I'd like to obtain about 15 to 20 "identical" clarinet mouthpieces to use as blanks for some testing I want to do. As to the exact type of mouthpiece, I have no preferences except that (1) they should be good quality material, (2) they should be "identical" and (3) they should be fairly cheap. I plan to modify them in various ways and do some testing. Any ideas? - Brent Smith -

The 'A' model has a low baffle and a tip opening of .045" The only down side is the hardness of the material. Plastic might be easier to work. Runyon 22 ?
