A breakthrough for clarinettists and doublers making their way to bass clarinet, the BD5 Black Diamond is the first Vandoren bass mouthpiece designed to feel as close as possible to the playing feel of a Bb clarinet. Very responsive, with exceptional ease of playing in the extreme high and low registers, in Vandoren's words these mouthpieces "provide a very round and full bodied sound while requiring less air to do so".
The Black Diamond series of mouthpieces have proven hugely popular for all clarinet sizes, particular among symphonic musicians and concert soloists, for their tonal clarity, effortless response, and superb intonation. Come and see what all the fuss is about - call in to one of our Ozwinds stores to play test these mouthpieces today.
