This mouthpiece was handed down to 30 years ago from a professional clarinetist. I played this while at the Aspen Music School and a famous Principal Clarinetist wanted to buy it from me at the time and needless to say I kept it. I am only selling my collection as I no longer play the clarinet. Don't be fooled by the worn look of the mouthpiece. The rubber is amazing with total ping and center to the sound. Notice how thin the tip rails are. They don't make them like this anymore. I had the mouthpiece touched up by Ramon Wodkowski a few years back. It is priceless but it must go. I am not sure of the tip opening but it seemed to work well with a lighter reed. Gorgeous sounding and so fluid. Please email with questions and I will ship internationally - just email for quote.
