Detail 01
Chedeville Rubber
The mouthpiece uses Chedeville’s proprietary, purer rod-ebonite material.

Independent shopping perspective
Built for Bb clarinet, the Umbra pairs a darker sound color with reduced resistance relative to Chedeville’s Elite model. That combination puts dynamic changes, shifts of color, and articulation under the player’s control without the mouthpiece adding resistance. Its proprietary Chedeville Rubber is a purer rod ebonite, and production combines CNC machining with critical handwork in Savannah, Georgia. The product title identifies this version as F1; the description separately lists an F00 95 tip-opening entry.
