Vandoren Profile 88 B40 mouthpiece for Bb clarinet

General

The Vandoren Profile 88 B40 mouthpiece for Bb clarinet has a sharper angle than the Traditional B40 mouthpiece. This allows it to be played in a different position in the mouth. Thus, it lends itself more to playing with the clarinet's cup raised. It has the same medium tip opening and medium to long trajectory length. As a result, it gives a concentrated sound across all registers and lends itself to a variety of musical styles. It has a slightly wider tip profile than the B45, and therefore has slightly more resistance.

Vandoren Profile 88 B40: craftsmanship

As a Parisian family business, Vandoren has been making accessories for woodwind instruments for three generations. The mouthpieces and reeds are made in collaboration with professional musicians. So is the Profile 88 variety, first presented in 1988. It is made of ebonite, a firm rubber, insensitive to acids and bases. This makes the material ideally suited for wind instruments. Vandoren's range has a suitable mouthpiece for every clarinet player, regardless of level or musical style.
