As many know, my mouthpiece kind of broke. Tommorrow we are getting a new mouthpiece. My clarinet is extremely picking, so I might need a custom one or( as my mom said, who played clarinet 35 years ago) get it remade. So, my question is:
What mouthpieces should I avoid? What are the best brands? We have a limited budget, so the cheaper, the better. I would love to have an expensive mouthpiece, but we just can't afford it. Please; I need to know before tomorow so I don't end up getting one that is not very good. i might as well take the oportunity to get a better one...

My mouthpiece broke this year and my BD said I should get the Vandoren
(can't remember the exact model). It was $90, which completely blew my
mind. But my dad decided it was worth it, and we bought it, along with
a new ligature, one of the leather ones. The sound quality improved
tremendously, and my BD said even if I got a whole new clarinet in the
future I could keep the mouthpiece and it'd last for decades.
He also showed me a model that was a little cheaper, $65. I can't remember
the brand, though. I know it came in a white-ish box that lifted up instead of
opening on one end.
This is the mouthpiece I'm currently using.
This is my ligature.
I couldn't find the cheaper mouthpiece on Google. Sorry. D:

Vandoren M 13 lyre's are good. Most pro's use that one, though it'll be about $80 or so.
Though, c'mon, custom? That can cost into the thousands. Not worth it.

As far as clarinets go, I hear no matter what mouthpiece you have, if you have a plastic ligature, it will sound better. All the Clarinets in my band have plastic ligatures now, and they sound great.

All the Clarinets in my band have plastic ligatures now, and they sound great. o.O...no one material is best for ligatures...each material will give a different quality...anyway...i recommend vandoren b45...i think new it's like 115 dollars...(i got mine from my BD..he gave it to me for 50)..anyway..if you can get a good deal on it..go for it
