Vandoren CM1005 BD5 Black Diamond Ebonite Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece

The Vandoren CM1005 Black Diamond Ebonite Bb Clarinet mouthpiece is a reliable and genuine product made in France. The internal and external design of the BD5 is different from the M15 and B45 models, giving it a more focused and darker sound, especially in the high register. It is compatible with Vandoren 56 Rue Lepic or V12 reeds. Customers have reported they achieved good results with soft reeds (#1.5 or #2) despite playing at a high altitude. The BD5 is ideal for straight-ahead clarinet players, compared to the B45 mouthpieces, which are better suited for doublers. The BD5 13 and 88 profiles are identical in sound but have different pitch and beak profiles, respectively. While the BD5 is recommendable for jazz and folk music, it works well for classical music too.
