#Bundy bass clarinet mouthpiece 3 series

I have not had an oppurtunity to try a high quality modern wood mouthpiece (like one made from cocobolo). Simply based on my experiences with mouthpieces I've found exceptionally high quality hard rubber mouthpieces (of course faced by an expert craftsman) to have a greater resonance and level of projection than mouthpieces I've played with lesser quality rubber or other materials. I remember reading it before but it's been a period of time. The Bundy certainly appears to be rugged! I'm curious about how folks on this forum would compare a 70's Bundy to the current field of plastic student clarinets in terms of overall playability. This set up should meet my needs for a summer-gig clarinet. For whatever reason(s), the K11e really brings the old Bundy to life. Of course, the Bundy's quality of sound is not at the level of my Couesnon. I finally hit pay dirt on the Bundy with a Grabner K11e and a #3 Legere Ontario.

I then tried a series of mix & match combinations with the 4 types of Grabner Kaspar mouthpieces I have as well as 3 types of Legere reeds. I did not have good first impressions of the Bundy when I tried my Grabner K14 & #3 Legere Quebec set up on it. After trying several student model clarinets I was given a 70's Bundy by a sax buddy to try. I've been looking for a back up clarinet to use for summer outdoor gigs.not wanting to take my treasured vintage Couesnon Monopole out in the hot sun.
