Maybe, just like with my B flat Soprano experience, there should be much better custom-type Bass Clarinet Will begin trials of different mouthpiece and reedĬombinations. This has started me off on a search for a better BassĬlarinet mouthpiece.

(Surprisingly, the mid throat tones of G, A,Īnd B flat sound just fine with my current setup!) Notes from low B flat to F sound kind of stuffy andĪiry.

(I recall being advised to useĪ slightly lower reed stiffness when playing the BassĬlarinet.) Also, in the Chalumeau register the lower Soįar I have only tried one mouthpiece and one reed

Person I bought it from is a NAPBIRT technician. When! I don’t believe there is pad leakage since the Soprano clarinets I have played since I don’t know Haven’t experienced this predicament with any of the Squawks in and around the F, F# and G notes.

Justice in realizing the full capabilities and The mouthpiece I have been using is not doing it I suspect it should sound pretty good too, but I sense Members play flute and oboe) I have purchased a Sound to our woodwind ensemble (the other ensemble I have begun a new tangential endeavor in my clarinet Bundy, and modern-ish Vandoren.Subject: Here’s a new question for you regarding Bass Clarinet Mouthpieces Some places have to order them from the factory.Īnyhow, ITT (in this thread), Selmer C and C* were recommended, as well as Grabner (expensive!), Behn Overture, old Geo. I also used a Berg Larsen hard rubber 110/0 mouthpiece on bari sax, which is now extremely odd and costs around $350. I was definitely not your stereotypical bass (and contrabass) player. Please also note that I used Vandoren 4 reeds. On a Bb soprano, I liked the Selmer C85/120 (there is a BC version) and the Vandoren B40 and B45 (there are also BC versions). In any case, my personal experience has been whatever was in the case was OK for me. * I really don't think "durable" is top-of-mind for people buying mouthpieces. You'd also probably have a much more expensive mouthpiece. If you're looking at playing in a symphonic orchestra, you'd also have a clarinet that was made in A=442. * FWIW, you can tune to A=441 or A=442 with most woodwinds without an issue, depending on how decent an ear you have. * Most of the other mouthpieces are for Bb soprano clarinet (i.e. It makes me doubt that they put in any research time, let alone 59 hours. * One of the "clarinet" mouthpieces reviewed is actually a saxophone mouthpiece (Yamaha YAC CL4CM-II). * The page title of the article is "4 Best Clarinet Mouthpieces" and the headline in the article is "Top 5 Clarinet Mouthpieces Review."

I'm asking for advice here.ī: I rather buy a used mouthpiece but a better mouthpiece. So these are things that can perhaps clarify my enquiry:Ī: I don't know Vandoren B45/46 are the best choice compared to higher model of Fobes or Garret (just heard the name don't know anything about how good they are, student or non, price, etc.), I'm open to suggestion: any thing else non-student, good quality, good sound, but not more than 200 dollars. I tried them and I like the openness more than my current mouthpiece but I don't like the sound a lot. The only one that I know in that price range (100 to 200 dollars) and open enough tip is Vandoren B45/46. The reason I have a lower price limit of 100 dollars is hoping to stay away from the closed tip student mouthpieces. above my 100 to 200 dollar preferred range. I thought I mention Grabner was too expensive for me i.e. I make new age and smooth jazz stuff.Ĭlick to expand.Thanks for helping out. I like to play solo over my own composition I do in computer. I think I will be fine with a tip opening of 185 to 200.

Then I started looking into forums and try to find a good used mouthpiece in the range of 100 to 200 dollars that is free blowing, has a nice sound, and is good enough till I become an intermediate player. I had squeak here and there more than my student mouthpiece but the store agent was saying I just started that mouthpiece so if I buy it and take it home and practice, after a while I will be comfortable without squeaks. I tried a Vandoren B45 and B46 at the store. Since I've been playing tenor sax for a few years and I use 6 to 7* tip opening on it, that student bass clarinet mouthpiece is too closed tip for me and has lots of resistance.
