This mouthpiece maintains the integrity and beauty of sound through the extreme dynamic range from ppp to fff. Constructed from Bradford Behn s Proprietary Rod Rubber (true rolled rod rubber, the only mouthpieces in the world currently made from this material), these mouthpieces are unparalleled today in resonance and depth of sound. These mouthpieces were play tested and developed in rehearsals and performance by Andy Dahlke with the Philadelphia Orchestra.
The consistency of these mouthpieces is excellent as each piece is CNC machined and hand finished.
Two facings available in the RS Model, Close and Medium.
(No ligature or cap included.)
