135 - Mouthpiece Hygiene with Richard Hawkins
Clarineat: The Clarinet Podcast - A podcast by Sean Perrin
Today on the podcast I'm joined by Richard Hawkins, who is not only a Master Mouthpiece Craftsman, and Professor of Clarinet at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, but is also of course a veteran guest of the podcast. We discuss mouthpiece hygiene, maintenance, and some surprising tips that will help you get the best performance and lifespan out of your products. If you'd like more of what Hawkins has to say, be sure to return next week for a discussion about his work on the Vocalise Mouthpiece series.
