Guys, I will translate the French post:

I am a Bb clarinetist, and I would like to understand what makes the quality of a mouthpiece, and how to adapt a mouthpiece to my needs. Right now I am using several mouthpieces:  a Vandoren RV5, 2 B45 (points?), Perrier A, Selmer C85 120, Britone xxx xx.  (note from translator: I can't vouch for the model nos.)

I have compared the B45w. They sound different. The one has a more round sound and sounds very good in the high notes. The rails are identical and the interior form seems identical.

What are the aspects I should pay attention to?

Thanks in advance for your help. 

should not need a translator

Thanks for the translation. I would answer that the interior form 'seeming' identical is not an adequate analysis. Very small differences of the interior geometry, sometimes on the order of tenths of millimeters, is enough to create perceptible and even dramatic changes in timbre and response. I would say that the rails are not identical, that is impossible. And in the rails tiny differences are also very significant.

Adapting mpcs is often best left to experts; they are very easy to ruin, and knowing how to work on them and predicting the effects of modification takes lots of experience.

Steve,

Somebody was good enough to translate, somebody else was good enough to
answer the question, nobody was harmed in the process and you personally
were not inconvenienced. What is your problem? If it really offends your
sensibilities, use the delete key.

Hey guys, IMHO Steve is right, I usually post on forums where language is

Doesn't add interest if you can't understand it.......I fail to see  
the benefit of encouraging (or tolerating) posts that cannot be  
understood by the vast majority of members.....

A bad precedent leading to what?
Becoming overrun by French clarinetists?
This group becoming bilingual/trilingual/polyglot?

Let's cross that bridge when we come to it.

There's always online translation (although it is pretty pathetic for the
most part, it's bound to get better.)

Anyway, why not become more cunning linguists!

Melting pot, yes. Sausage grinder, no.

My 2 cents.

At this point, I will tolerate it since someone is doing the translation so we can understand the question and the replies are in English.  Perhaps our new member can find some members here who are willing to translate the questions and replies via Email.  I do need to keep this group in English so I can moderate it.

next thing you know, they'll want to put bar codes on all the street  
signs so the U.N. troops can easily find their way when a "one world"  
government is declared......seriously, the overwhelming majority of  
members of this group speak English, and very few speak French or  
other languages....just as a matter of common courtesy, if you're  
going to participate here, you should not exclude the majority of  
members or ask them to jump through additional hoops.....I fail to see

French, or any other language, post in a group that uses that  
language.....

Je vous demande pardon pour mon manque de courtoisie!
Je ne voulais pas provoquer cette situation.
Je suis maladroit.
Mille excuses, je ne parle pas votre langue donc,je me retire.

Merci à ceux qui ont tenté de m'aider.

Steve, your prejudice is showing. This is nothing to do with common
courtesy, they have not been rude by using a language you do not understand.

There isn't necessarily a group anywhere in the world about mouthpiece
modifications AND with a primary language of French. I don't recall reading
any rule when I signed up here that I had to post in one language.

I read plenty of groups where people post in different languages. Generally
if there is someone who can read and translate, the question gets answered.
If not, the person presumably looks elsewhere.

I'm glad to help, if I know the language. Otherwise, I just flip to the next
post and read that one.

What do you call someone that speaks three languages?  Trilingual. What do you call someone that speaks two languages?  Bilingual. What do you call someone that speaks one language?  American.

I don't recall saying that I don't like English. Can you point out where I
said that? 
 
I don't see the point in prohibiting other languages. I just ignore it if I
don't understand it. And since I'm not understanding why this issue makes
you so angry, I'll have to ignore that as well.

Since I translated Michel's first message, I will also translate his last: 

"I beg your pardon for my lack of courtesy. I didn't want to provoque this situation. I am a bit awkward. You have my apologies; I don't speak your language, therefore I will withdraw from the conversation. Thanks to those who tried to help me. Salutations."

Geez, we were really welcoming. Chalk one up for the States. JT

a suggestion: if someone wishes to post, but lacks English skills,  
maybe one of you multi-lingual guys who has the time and the  
inclination could agree to have the post forwarded to them FIRST, they  
could translate to English and post it.....that way, there's no  
problem for anybody that I can see....using this system, nobody has to  
learn English, and the English speaking majority knows what is being  
said......looks like a win/win to me........

Jeff, thank you for the excellent translation.

Babelfish and other translation websites are terrible when it comes to translating musical terms, or any highly technical discussion.  For example, what we call a "tone hole" the French refer to as a "chimney".  

I hereby nominate Jeff to be our official mouthpiece French-Engish translator. Do I have a second?  ;-)

Paul C.

second.....
there, that wasn't so hard, now was it?
