Hand-Crafted Alto Clarinet Mouthpiece - CX_BA
The
time has come for a quality, hand-crafted mouthpiece for the serious alto
clarinet player.
|
Why a new
Alto Clarinet Mouthpiece?
Face
it, most alto clarinet mouthpieces were made for beginners, or the
“weak, less accomplished” player. Even a decent alto clarinet mouthpiece
favors the low register at the expense of the clarion register. This limits
the efforts of the serious player.
I
designed this mouthpiece to replace these poor mouthpieces, for the player
who wants to get more out of their alto clarinet playing.
Made
from a mouthpiece blank from Zinner, this is very possibly the
world’s BEST alto clarinet mouthpiece.
Unlike so many
“stock” mouthpieces, EVERY SINGLE CX_BA mouthpiece is
GUARANTEED to be “in spec”
I play
test every one of them.

Basset Horn Mouthpiece:
I have a new Basset Horn Mouthpiece.
It was developed in conjunction with Lawrie
Bloom, of the Chicago Symphony. Call or write for more information.

It
happened again!
The Grabner alto clarinet mouthpiece came in today's mail [about
45 minutes ago], and it sounds spectacular. Barb is playing it while I
write this message. She's ripping through all kinds of her music,
and can hardly believe it's her sound. The mouthpiece responds
for her on the alto in much the same way as mine (Grabner CX_BS) on bass --
consistency among registers, a rock-solid sound, no squeaks. She
didn't even take any time to adjust to the new mouthpiece--amazing.
She and I
both are using Legere reeds and BG ligatures, and the response and
feel are most astounding. We're both finding the same
response as many of the customer comments on your website--fluency and
consistency through all registers, enhanced articulation, a wonderfully
full, woody sound, amazing consistency at all dynamic levels. Obviously,
we're keeping this alto clarinet mouthpiece! -- John G.,
Michigan
Another Customer Quote:
Your alto
mouthpiece arrived last Thursday, and I have been experimenting the
last few days. First off, it plays like a dream, with equal resistance
through the range of
the instrument (no more stuffy B and C over the break).
Bottom line is that I can stop searching for a better alto mouthpiece. This
one is perfect. My
“Professional Selmer Series 9” alto finally sounds like a
professional instrument. -Howard S., California
