VANDOREN Böhm Bb clarinet B40D

With the B40D Vandoren clarinet mouthpiece, Vandoren has created a completely new possibility. The B40D mouthpiece has a bore for Boehm clarinets, but the tenon is for clarinets with the German system. This is the result of many suggestions from music teachers and students. Many schools teach with the German system and the students find it easier to produce a tone due to the larger bore of the Boehm clarinets. This was incentive enough for Vandoren to take action in this respect, and the B40D clarinet mouthpiece was the ideal solution. The demand and, above all, the consistently positive feedback from clarinettists show that Vandoren has taken the right path with this B40D mouthpiece. - When choosing reeds, you should go for the Vandoren 56 Rue Lepic 2.5 gauge in order to achieve a beautiful and compact tone on the clarinet right from the start.

Interesting facts about the production of Vandoren mouthpieces:

Mouthpiece construction begins with a blank made of ebonite, an extremely hard material obtained from natural rubber. The mouthpiece is then given its outer shape in an automatic lathe specially developed for Vandoren. During this process, it is particularly important to locate the exact center of the mouthpiece. After each production step, the appearance and dimensions of each individual model are subjected to a precise inspection. The mouthpieces are polished until they have a shiny surface. After this, the corresponding track is ground. All mouthpieces are now sorted into groups and covered with cork. Only cork of the highest quality is used here,
to ensure durability and precision. The final adjustment of the sheet is carried out step by step using diamond cutting tools. The tolerances of 1/100 mm are so low that the track does not need to be polished. The final machining of the mouthpiece as well as the chamber, bore and tip is done by hand. Specialists put the finishing touches to the mouthpiece so that it can withstand the critical scrutiny of professional musicians. The mouthpieces, with the exception of the slide, are then polished one last time to remove stains and blemishes. In the final step, the golden Vandoren stamp is embossed next to the model number. Professional musicians then test the quality, sound and pitch of the mouthpieces. After a final check, the mouthpieces are packaged and sent all over the world.
