This item was specifically requested by my 16 yr old granddaughter who plays in a wind ensemble in high school. I could tell the difference immediately when she played for me, compared to her original mouthpiece. Much smoother fuller tones. Maybe not a "professional" level item, but a big step up from the standard issue. And my granddaughter was DELIGHTED.

This mouthpiece has great sound, makes everything easier to play, and is just great.

If you want a mouthpiece that is quality and consistant. Please look into this model.

I'm using it with my Buffet clarinet, and it's terrific. Very easy to hit high notes (A) as well as low. At first glance, it doesn't have an open face, but it's very easy to play classical music.

This mouthpiece is amazing, enough said, I have been playing clarinet for 3 years and in my third year my band teacher gave this mouth piece for me to try out, I immediatly fell in love because it creates a fuller sound, the only snag is I hate vandoren reeds (if you want some reeds that are easier to play on go for mitchel lurie, just saying) and when you use any other reed other then vandoren, spit seeps out the sides of the reed all over your face while your playing. This isn't a terrible thing though and i thought it was just me until my friend got the mouthpeice and she had the same problem, so if you want a fuller sound and no spit, get use to vandoren reeds, if you dont mind a little spit then i totally suggest mitchel lurie (cheeper and fuller sound and easier to play on) other then the spit, this mouthpeice really helped me win a lot of compitions too :) amazing mouthpiece

Our son was becoming frustrated with his level of playing with the standard mouthpiece. We looked around and the Vandoren B45 seemed to be the universal favorite. We looked locally and couldn't find it cheaper than [...] bucks. We ordered it from Amazon and really saw a difference. It takes a little more wind to play it but that's okay. Its helping him with breath control. This mouthpiece works best with the Rovner Clarinet Ligature 1R

After lengthy research purchased the Vandoren B45 mouth piece from Amazon.
The item was exactly as ordered and required, was well packaged, delivered promptly to Australia and works extremely well.
I can only endorse the product and Amazon to the fullest extent.
