For beginners, a Hite is good.
For more advanced, I would recommend Vandoren first. Try a Vandoren M15, or if you're looking for a bigger sound, an M30.
I use a hand-made Richard Hawkins B. It's great!

A student can't go wrong with a Hite Premier, Fobes Debut, Pyne, Yamaha or Runyon. Differences are subtle. Student mouthpieces provide special construction features that enable students to play easier, such as wider rails.
Vandoren and Selmer mouthpieces are expensive, particularly for a young beginner that may or may not play beyond the first year -- or even beyond the first month or two. I include them because they are so often recommended by well-meaning mid/high school teachers, many of whom are not really that familiar with woodwinds. The second list also provides a good comparison in tip openings to the less expensive student mouthpieces.
Be aware that Vandoren models vary considerably from sample to sample and it is best to try a few.
Check and compare the larger on-line merchants for pricing and in regards to their usually generous return policy.
Here's some other inexpensive mouthpieces for beginners (in order of tip opening):
Hite Premier (0.95)
Fobes Debut (1.00)
Yamaha 3C (1.00)
Yamaha 4C (1.05)
Pyne Polycrystal (1.075)
Yamaha 5C (1.10)
Runyon 22 #3 (1.14)
Runyon 22 #4 (1.19)
Moving up in price:
Selmer HS* (1.00)
Selmer B* (1.05)
Vandoren 5RV (1.06)
Vandoren 5RV Lyre (1.09+ Vandoren's specs!)
Selmer C* (1.10)
Selmer C** (1.15)
Selmer D (1.20)
It depends on what level of player you are. It also depends on whether you plan to play the Clarinet outside. In general, a good starter clarinet (plastic) is either a Yamaha YCL-250 or a Buffet B10 or B12. For intermediates, either a Yamaha YCL-450 or Buffet E11. For a professional clarinet, many regard the Buffet R13 as one of the best.
It all depends. Bass Clarinet is for strong lungs, and normally plays along with the tuba. The regular clarinet, on the other hand, is a very versitile instrument, and normally gets the melody. They are best with lower sounds, but they almost never get them.

If you are experienced enough to have a good solid sound, try every mouthpiece you can get your hands on. Try each with several reeds of differing strengths, and check your pitch with a tuner.
Different people find that different pieces work differently. Find one that works well for you and playing will be more enjoyable.
If you haven't developed that good solid sound yet, stick with student mouthpiece from one of the well known makers, like Vandoren, Yamaha, Brilhart, Clarke Fobes, David Hite. Work on those long tones, build up your embouchure and advance too harder reeds. Then shop for something more advanced.
The mouthpiece on a clarinet is actually called a mouthpiece, and the ring that holds the reed in place is called a ligature. Hope i helped!
It depends on what the clarinet's made of.
It can be made of plastic, hard rubber, wood, or even crystal. The most common ones are made of plastic or hard rubber.

It depends on what your looking for. I sugest non-lyre
The small piece of wood on the clarinet is the reed.
the reed vibrates and produces a sound depending on the keys you play!

take the reed out and the metal piece off. Then hand wash the mouth piece using dawn and water. Don't stick it in the dishwasher...
Well of course the clarinet! The top part is the mouth piece and the bottom part of this amusing instrument is the bell.

that does not make any sense it depends on how he or she made the mouth piece

The bell,lower section, upper section, and barrel are made out of wood.And the mouth piece is plastic.
Depends on where you get it. Maybe $50.00, or less, maybe more actually.
Somewhat. The Bass Clarinet sounds an octave lower than the Bb Clarinet. It is also much bigger and requires much more air, as well as a looser embrochure. There are also a couple extra keys (depending on your model) that allow you to play even lower than low E.
