Do clarinets have mouthpieces?
All clarinets come with a mouthpiece, so shopping for a new one may not seem like a priority. However, stock mouthpieces (the mouthpiece that comes with a clarinet) are almost always of subpar quality. This may lead you to believe that a clarinet doesn't play well when the problem is, in fact, your mouthpiece.
What is the mouthpiece called on a clarinet?
The space between the reed and the mouthpiece tip where air passes through is called the tip opening, which will also vary the clarinet's tone depending on the width of the opening. The flat area where the reed sits on the mouthpiece is called the table.
