{"product_id":"vandoren-b40-mib-cm323-13266","title":"B40 Eb - CM323","description":"\u003ch3\u003eVandoren: a French signature that has become a benchmark for clarinet mouthpieces\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the world of clarinet, Vandoren holds a special place: the brand has established itself among musicians thanks to consistent manufacturing standards and the ability to offer profiles adapted to the real needs of players. Its reputation has been built on the consistency of its clarinet accessories, and each new mouthpiece reflects this pursuit of balance between comfort, control, and musicality. Choosing a Vandoren mouthpiece means opting for a proven approach, widely adopted in classical practice, from conservatories to orchestras.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWho is this E-flat clarinet mouthpiece for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mouthpiece is intended for clarinetists seeking a reliable response and a sound aesthetic oriented towards \u003cstrong\u003eclassical\u003c\/strong\u003e style on the \u003cstrong\u003eE-flat clarinet\u003c\/strong\u003e. It suits both an \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate\u003c\/strong\u003e musician wishing to stabilize their response and intonation, and an \u003cstrong\u003eadvanced\u003c\/strong\u003e clarinetist aiming to refine articulation, phrasing, and dynamics. Since the E-flat clarinet is often used in orchestras, wind ensembles, and demanding repertoire, the choice of mouthpiece should remain consistent with your blowing technique, reed, and instrument balance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTone, playing comfort, and material: the contribution of ebonite\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade of \u003cstrong\u003eebonite\u003c\/strong\u003e (hard rubber), this mouthpiece emphasizes a comfortable playing feel and a sound output appreciated for its finesse. Ebonite is often sought after for its ability to promote stable response and controlled timbre, with a rendering generally suited to classical requirements: clean attacks, gradual dynamics, and sound control across registers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003etip opening\u003c\/strong\u003e (here \u003cstrong\u003e1.105 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e ) corresponds to the gap between the tip of the mouthpiece and the reed when in place. It is one of the most decisive settings: depending on your blowing style and reed strength, a given opening can provide more ease of response, greater resistance, or a different palette of nuances. To get the best out of this type of mouthpiece, the ideal is to aim for a coherent \u003cstrong\u003emouthpiece + reed\u003c\/strong\u003e combination: the reed influences response, flexibility, and stability, while the mouthpiece conditions the overall feel and color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote: the \u003cstrong\u003etable\u003c\/strong\u003e (the flat area where the reed rests) and the \u003cstrong\u003echamber\u003c\/strong\u003e (internal volume of the mouthpiece) also contribute to projection, density, and homogeneity. Even without detailed measurements, these elements explain why two mouthpieces made of the same material can offer very different sensations: the internal profile and balance of supports matter as much as the material.\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:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\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)\"\u003eEb clarinet\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eclassic\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\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 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:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOpening\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e1,105 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinishing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eGlossy\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:transparent;--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\u003eTip opening\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e1.105 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended style\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eclassical\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eE-flat clarinet\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003efor hygiene reasons, a mouthpiece that has been tried or used generally cannot be returned\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Vandoren","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54334390141203,"sku":"13266","price":111.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/441e20655ab4427bc19eba10db382b02bd5a9079_AVD_CM323.png?v=1789582689","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/vandoren-b40-eb-cm323-13266","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
