I have used a JP Jazz clarinet mouthpiece for years, and it does everything I want it to, except that as a doubler, I tend to play a little flat. I have a shorter barrel I use, but I don't like the way it messes with the tuning in places.
I tried one of the new D'Addario pieces that tune to 442, and it was great. But it still didn't play as well for me as my JP Jazz. I have tried Lakeys and more open tip Vandorens, but for me, they don't sound as good as my JP.
So my question is: can a competent refacer rework my mouthpiece to tune to 442 (or so), without substantially altering the other characteristics of the piece? Your constructive input would be appreciated. 😎
