One of the world’s most popular step-up mouthpieces, the B45 offers excellent response and flexibility across the entire range of the clarinet. Its slightly more open tip allows players to produce a richer tone while maintaining stability and control.

BG “Revelation” Ligature & Cap (Bb Clarinet)

BG’s Revelation ligature will enhance resonance and projection while allowing the reed to vibrate freely. The result is improved clarity, articulation and dynamic range.

Vandoren Thin Mouthpiece Cushions – Clear (0.35mm)

These comfortable bite pads protect the mouthpiece from teeth marks while helping stabilise the embouchure. The thin design maintains a natural feel while providing added comfort and grip.
