It would not work on clarinet. **Q: Which is best for a complete beginner?** A: If the student is very small physically (like some 4th graders), then the B3. If they are average size (5th & 6th grade), and can learn to use lip muscles for Embouchure instead of jaw pressure (biting); then the B5 offers many advantages. This works very well with the orange box Rico #2 reed. The B chamber offers a warmer sound and easier response for Band playing. **Q: Is there a conversion chart of the different mouthpieces? ie...something comparable to the Yamaha alto sax 4C, but in the Rico mouthpieces.** A: Yes.
