The goal is not to replicate a \"retro\" aesthetic merely for visual appeal: here, the focus is clear, \u003cstrong\u003eeverything serves the sound\u003c\/strong\u003e. By relying on machining rather than molding, the Reserve aims for production consistency that reassures discerning clarinetists, rehearsal after rehearsal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned by a team combining \u003cstrong\u003etop-level musicians, craftsmen, and engineers\u003c\/strong\u003e, this mouthpiece embodies a \"precision + musicality\" approach: preserving a playing spirit and tonal color inspired by period references while meeting today's demands for accuracy, control, and reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor Which Clarinetist and Repertoires?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rico Reserve mouthpiece for \u003cstrong\u003eBb clarinet\u003c\/strong\u003e is primarily aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eadvanced intermediate, advanced, and professional\u003c\/strong\u003e players seeking a stable, coherent, and expressive mouthpiece, especially during long sessions (orchestra, chamber music, studio, rehearsals). Beginners can find a solid foundation here, but the Reserve's potential is best realized with an already developed embouchure (in terms of \"placement\").\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarding styles, its \"sound first\" vocation suits both \u003cstrong\u003eclassical\u003c\/strong\u003e (homogeneity, clear articulation, control) and \u003cstrong\u003ejazz\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003epop\u003c\/strong\u003e contexts where controlled projection and dynamic range are expected. The choice of \u003cstrong\u003etable length\u003c\/strong\u003e (closed \/ medium \/ medium-open) allows fine-tuning of resistance and reed feel according to your approach and usual reeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound and Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clarinet mouthpiece primarily plays on key parameters: the \u003cstrong\u003etable\u003c\/strong\u003e (contact and vibration area of the reed), how the reed moves, and the sensation of resistance. With the Reserve, precision machining and the choice of an \u003cstrong\u003eexclusive solid rubber\u003c\/strong\u003e aim for consistent response, reliable projection across registers, and a control feel that helps stabilize attack and dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe three available table lengths provide simple benchmarks: a \u003cstrong\u003eclosed\u003c\/strong\u003e table tends to offer more resistance and stability, a \u003cstrong\u003emedium\u003c\/strong\u003e table seeks balance, and a \u003cstrong\u003emedium-open\u003c\/strong\u003e table often favors a freer, more expressive feel. The expected result: a mouthpiece that prioritizes \u003cstrong\u003etimbre consistency\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003earticulation\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003econtrol\u003c\/strong\u003e, without relying on variable artisanal finishing, as the machining precision is declared sufficient to eliminate the need for manual adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eBb clarinet\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eHard rubber\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable in 3 table lengths\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eclosed, medium, medium-open\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eRico Reserve\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeclared precision\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eno manual finishing needed\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"D'addario - Rico","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54357169701139,"sku":"145526","price":139.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/a13eb0e4ee85a24e94f89b891380499e23c0d3ce_DADDARIO_MCR_X0_4d6ee71d-44dc-4916-b065-2c477de04860.jpg?v=1789348120","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/d-addario-rico-reserve-mcr-x0-close-facing-145526","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
