{"product_id":"vandoren-m13-serie-13-profile-88-cm4138-9730","title":"M13 Series 13 Profile 88 - CM4138","description":"\u003ch3\u003eVandoren: a French signature that has become a clarinet mouthpiece standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the clarinet market, Vandoren is an essential reference. The French brand has established itself among clarinetists worldwide thanks to recognized manufacturing consistency, initially popularized by its reeds, then reinforced by mouthpieces developed with the same high standards. Each Vandoren mouthpiece follows a logic of \u003cstrong\u003ereliability\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ereproducibility\u003c\/strong\u003e : the goal is to offer musicians equipment they can depend on, both for daily practice and concert situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDepending on the series, Vandoren offers different comfort approaches (more traditional chin rest or thinner profiles). This allows each player to adapt their choice to their \u003cstrong\u003eangle of attack\u003c\/strong\u003e, embouchure feel, and playing habits, while maintaining a sound aesthetic consistent with classical clarinet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFor which clarinetist and repertoire?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mouthpiece is naturally aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eBb clarinet\u003c\/strong\u003e players working within a \u003cstrong\u003eclassical\u003c\/strong\u003e context: conservatory, wind orchestra, chamber music, symphony orchestra, solo repertoire. The specified tip opening (1.005 mm) makes it a relevant option for the \u003cstrong\u003ealready supervised beginner\u003c\/strong\u003e clarinetist up to the \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate\/advanced\u003c\/strong\u003e level, seeking clean playing, centered tone, and consistent response.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn an educational context, a balanced mouthpiece helps stabilize the air column, clarify attacks, and work on register equality. For a more experienced musician, it can become an excellent anchor point to refine intonation, color, and sound control by adjusting reed choice (strength and cut) and embouchure work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTone, response, and design: what ebonite brings to playing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEbonite is a highly appreciated material in clarinet mouthpiece making for its \u003cstrong\u003estability\u003c\/strong\u003e and mouthfeel. When well crafted, it promotes comfortable contact and regular reed vibration, resulting in a \u003cstrong\u003emore predictable sound production\u003c\/strong\u003e and better control of dynamics, especially in pianissimo passages and delicate attacks typical of classical repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e1.005 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e tip opening directly influences the sensation of resistance and flexibility. In practice, this type of opening aims for a compromise: a response accessible enough to chain phrases without excessive fatigue, while retaining enough substance to build a \u003cstrong\u003ecentered timbre\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eclean projection\u003c\/strong\u003e, and good stability in the upper register. Homogeneity between chalumeau, clarion, and altissimo registers will also depend on the reed pairing (strength and cut) and ligature, but the mouthpiece's mechanical base strongly contributes to overall balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stated manufacturing quality highlights a highly polished exterior finish, with particular attention to the playing surfaces. The idea is simple: preserve precision where it matters to ensure a clear response, readable articulation, and stable intonation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eRecommended compatible accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo get the most out of this mouthpiece, you can pair it with \u003cstrong\u003eBb clarinet reeds\u003c\/strong\u003e (reed strength choice will depend on your sound production and desired resistance), as well as \u003cstrong\u003eadhesive mouthpiece patches\u003c\/strong\u003e (for dental comfort and chin rest protection). A \u003cstrong\u003eswab\u003c\/strong\u003e and regular cleaning also help maintain a consistent response over time.\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)\"\u003eBb 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)\"\u003e1,005 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)\"\u003e1.005 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)\"\u003eBb clarinet\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct subject to a specific withdrawal right\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003efor hygiene reasons, this product is not eligible for withdrawal and cannot be refunded or exchanged.\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Vandoren","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54334377853203,"sku":"9730","price":121.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/8f280dc0723138540e647f7d7d42ffff0ac3c9f5_AVD_CM4138.png?v=1789356654","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/vandoren-m13-series-13-profile-88-cm4138-9730","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
