Traditional vs Profile 88: a difference designed for ergonomics
This mouthpiece follows a "classic and effective" approach: the only announced difference with the "Profile 88" version concerns the chin rest angle. This allows the clarinetist to choose the geometry that provides the most comfort, easier sound production, and more precise articulation according to their morphology and instrument hold.
For which clarinetist and styles?
Intended for advanced beginners to experienced musicians seeking a responsive and stable mouthpiece, this model is especially suitable for jazz and traditional repertoires where articulation, presence, and phrasing flexibility make the difference.
Sound and design
Made of ebonite, this mouthpiece promotes a rich timbre and a comfortable playing feel. Its 1.70 mm tip opening contributes to accessible sound production, good intonation control, and precise articulation, while maintaining strong projection to stand out in an ensemble.
Recommended compatible accessories
To get the best out of it, use Bb clarinet reeds suited to your style (softer for ease of sound production, harder for stability and support) and add a mouthpiece patch to improve comfort and reduce wear on the teeth.
