Vandoren bass clarinet mouthpiece with quick response
The Vandoren BD5 from the Black Diamond series is a bass clarinet mouthpiece with a distinctive internal and external design. That construction makes the mouthpiece highly responsive and helps you produce a round, full sound with less air.
Especially in the upper register of the bass clarinet, you hear plenty of depth and color. Intonation and volume stay well balanced in both staccato playing and legato lines.
Construction and specifications of the Vandoren BD5
This Vandoren mouthpiece is made of ebonite and finished in black. The tip opening is 1.87 mm and the facing length is medium, a combination that matches the character and response of the BD5.
You receive the Vandoren BD5 without a ligature. Vandoren recommends V21 series reeds in strengths 3 to 3.5, so you can pair the mouthpiece as intended by the maker.
