Vandoren Traditional B45 dot mouthpiece for Bb clarinet

General

The Vandoren Traditional B45. Bb clarinet mouthpiece is a variation on the popular standard B45 mouthpiece. The difference is indicated in the dot in its name, which tells us that it has a slightly bigger chamber, resulting in greater blowing ease as air flows through it more easily. However, the average tip opening and facing length are the same, which means it offers a rich sound across all registers. As such, the B45. mouthpiece (or B45 dot) is very easy to use, it just requires a bit more experience in order to find the right intonation.

Vandoren Traditional B45.: collaborating with professionals

Vandoren has been making mouthpieces and reeds for clarinets and saxophones since 1905. They offer a wide range of standard models, but never give up their search for new innovations. To achieve that, they work closely with professional musicians. Their mouthpieces are made of Ebonite, which is a hard type of rubber that is resistant to acids and bases, making them ideally suited to regular use.
