A Reference Material in the World of Mouthpieces
Ebonite is a classic material in mouthpiece making: it promotes a clear attack, a round tone, and consistent playability-qualities particularly appreciated on the bass clarinet in the classical repertoire.
For Which Musician and Uses?
This mouthpiece is intended for bass clarinetists seeking a versatile setup for classical music, from daily practice to performances in wind ensembles or orchestras, offering moderate resistance and good sound support.
Sound and Design
With a 1.93 mm tip opening, it generally provides a flexible response while maintaining control in the low register and a well-managed projection. Ebonite contributes to a rather dark color and good playing stability, especially in dynamics.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To be paired with a ligature and a mouthpiece cap suitable for the bass clarinet (not included). The choice of reed and its strength will allow adjustment of resistance according to your embouchure.

Spout quite well open, chamber open enough to easily play with nuances. Very good product that is still expensive since Vandoren practically maintains a monopoly in this area.
