Vandoren clarinet mouthpieces comparison chart(PDF)Product Specs
Developed for the American market, these mouthpieces have a deeper throat, giving a slightly darker sound. They play slightly flatter as they are made to A-440, but we have found them to be just as popular as the normal range.
Vandoren mouthpieces are machined from solid ebonite (vulcanised rubber) and then individually hand-finished.
This mouthpiece has a "Profile 88" beak - as opposed to the traditional beak which has a thicker exterior angle.
Vandoren clarinet mouthpieces are the most popular upgrade mouthpiece, and will fit on virtually any Bb or A clarinet.
The 5RV mouthpiece was the original design of Robert Van Doren and his own personal favorite. It is widely used by classical players Tip opening is 1.065mm with a medium-short facing length.
At Ackerman Music we stock the full lineup of Vandoren mouthpieces, and they are the most popular upgrade mouthpiece that we sell.
If you are able to come into one of our shops, you are able to try for yourself the full range of Vandoren mouthpieces.
