VandorenBD5 Black Diamond Ebonite Bass Clarinet Mouthpiece
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Vandoren BD5 Black Diamond is an ebonite bass clarinet mouthpiece designed around responsiveness and a round, full-bodied sound. It is made to achieve that response with less air, and its design lets doublers approach bass clarinet using their Bb clarinet embouchure. Finished in black, it is a focused choice for players moving between those two clarinet roles.
Strong match
Who this is for
