The Korena take

Built around the 5ABL’s large-shank layout, this gold Heritage Series mouthpiece pairs a 25.73 mm cup diameter with a medium backbore. The series design concentrates mass around the throat and backbore while using a thinner upper wall, supporting sensitivity at quieter dynamics alongside added power when required. For the 5ABL specifically, the focus is a rich voice and a strong upper register, with the Heritage design also aimed at clearer overtones and more responsive articulation up high.
