Backun mouthpieces

Published: Apr 19, 2020  |   Category: Products


Backun, an instrument maker in Canada, makes great products.  I recommend he Backun Alpha mouthpiece for young players, and the Vocalise G mouthpiece for later.  I do not recommend any of the crystal mouthpieces or synthetic reeds.  https://backunmusical.com/collections/mouthpieces.....Read More

Fobes Mouthpieces

Highly recommended mouthpieces.  I recommend 1. Beginners - Fobes Debut.  It is said to be significantly better than the mouthpieces that come with a student clarinet.  2. Mid-level - Fobes Nova mouthpiece. 3. Serious advanced players - Fobes San Francisco.  Purchase at: https://www.clarkwfobes.com/collections/soprano-clarinet/product.....Read More
