Vandoren 5JB Profile 88 Clarinet Mouthpiece

Description

The Vandoren 5JB Profile 88 clarinet mouthpiece is one of the popular choices for jazz clarinettists. The Profile 88 beak is a variation of the traditional model. It is contoured to have a less harsh angle, and that makes the mouthpiece comfortable to play. By changing the angle of the beak, the embouchure is altered. This allows players who don’t like the feeling of wider mouthpieces to have the sound of a wider, more open mouthpiece available to them.

The Vandoren 5JB Profile 88 clarinet mouthpiece gives you plenty of room to play with dynamics whilst remaining in control. Its wide tip opening and long facing makes this mouthpiece a great buy for those who want a big sound. This mouthpiece has one of the widest tip openings in the Vandoren range. For that reason, the Vandoren 5JB Profile 88 works best with softer reed choices, allowing for the greatest air flow and least resistance.

Despite the Profile 88 beak, this mouthpiece has the same bore as the traditional 5JB. As such, it gives you the space to get a rich, full, loud sound with this version. It is great for doublers (especially if you play the saxophone) and jazz musicians as the chamber allows for lots of air to travel through it.
