Note: this mouthpiece only works on Selmer Paris, Selmer USA, Bundy or Buescher instruments. It will NOT fit Vito or Leblanc instruments, If you have a Leblanc or Vito contra alto clarinet you will need a BBb contrabass mouthpiece which you can find here.
Finding a good professional contra alto clarinet mouthpiece can be a challenge. After months of prototyping I’ve come up with a design that exceeds the playing characteristics of my favorite contra alto mouthpieces. This mouthpiece features a medium tip opening combined with a long facing which provides great response across the range of the instrument while maintaining a nice bass clarinet like tone. This mouthpiece is designed to work well with both baritone saxophone and contrabass clarinet reeds and uses a standard contra alto or contrabass clarinet ligature. This mouthpiece is now available with a specially designed slip-on ligature that carefully holds the reed along two rails providing excellent resonance and response. For reeds, I recommend a Vandoren #3 bari sax reed
An M6x8mm threaded insert compatible with the PiezoBarrel pickup is also available for an additional $15 (A plug will be included so you can use the neck with no pickup). (Note: this is only used for playing with an amp/pedals).
All of my mouthpieces are made from an FDA approved material and can easily be washed with soap and warm water to remove germs.
As with any woodwind mouthpiece, it is recommended to clean your mouthpiece (and reed) after each play session to help your equipment last as long as possible and prevent the build up of germs.
