A very open tip, long facing, the jazz
mouthpiece. |
B45
 |
The sound of the B40 and the comfort of the B45. |
| B40 |
Designed to use soft reeds without sacrificing
the sound quality of a stronger reed (centered and compact). |
| B45 |
Universally acclaimed, it is the most popular
mouthpiece. Designed for the symphonic orchestra player. |
B45
 |
Large chambered mouthpiece produces excellent
full "round" sound. |
| B46 |
Ideal for the dance musician with classical
background or the symphonic clarinetist desiring more tip opening. |
| 116 |
Same sound quality as B45 obtained by using
reeds that are a little stronger. |
M30
New |
Designed to provide more flexibility, the M30
incorporates a very long facing and a large tip rail to produce a mouthpiece
similar in sonority to the B40, with easier sound production qualities. |
| 5RV
|
Responsive, easy to control in all registers,
excellent for students. For symphonic and chamber music. |
| 5RV |
World famous 5RV is virtually a professional
standard of comparison. |
| M15 |
At last, a mouthpiece which enables you to play
strong reeds with a great blowing ease. Exceptional sonority. The musician
can easily achieve a colorful spectrum of sound. |
| M13
|
A little more open than the M13 mouthpiece, it
permits easy blowing with harder reeds and produces a rich and centred
sound. The M13 LYRE is recommended for symphonic and chamber music. |
| M13 |
Offers many of the characteristics of older
American mouthpieces which are so widely sought after. The M13 permits easy
blowing with harder reeds and produces a rich, dark, centred sound. Response
is particularly sensitive. |
