    442 mpc on a 440 horn?

    Thanks clarnibass, I was thinking along those lines - since the series 13 seem to be relatively new. As a sax player with tons of different mouthpieces, each with differing shank lengths, I was surprised to hear that there were specific 442 tuned clarinet mouthpieces. I'll just see how it...

    Adult beginner books?
