What matters in use
The specifications, translated

Detail 02
5 facing (50)
Medium tip opening. Works with a wide reed strength range and doesn't demand a strong embouchure.
Detail 03
Graftonite material
Molded plastic composite. Very consistent piece to piece and shrugs off knocks better than hard rubber.
Detail 04
Bb clarinet fit
Standard clarinet shank. Slides onto the barrel with your existing cork and ligature.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What reed strength should I use with a B5?
A medium facing like the 5 takes medium reeds well. Most players land between 2.5 and 3.5 and adjust from there based on resistance.
02Does this fit a Bb clarinet?
Yes, it's a Bb clarinet mouthpiece and mounts on a standard barrel cork.
03Is it an upgrade over a factory student mouthpiece?
The facing and chamber are more consistently cut than most stock pieces, so response is more even across the range.
04What do the letter and number mean?
The letter is chamber size — A large, B medium, C small. The number is facing length: 3 is 45, 5 is 50, 7 is 55.
