Backun Signature Series Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece - McGill

Product Information

This is the new Backun Signature Series ‘McGill’ Clarinet mouthpiece. This mouthpiece, developed alongside NY Phil principal clarinettist Anthony McGill, has been designed by master-craftsman Richard Hawkins on behalf of Backun. Richness of tone and ease of articulation are the hallmarks of this mouthpiece. It has the flexibility to be able to play with a huge sound and delicately at the softest dynamic.

This new Signature Series from Backun has expanded to six models, this McGill and others inspired by some of the best players in the business. Both feature new internal and external designs compared to the Vocalise range. They also come with rubber o-rings in place of traditional cork (3 different sizes supplied in the outfit). It has a medium/long facing with a fairly close tip opening (1.04mm). The medium/long facing has been optimised to work well with both synthetic and cane reeds.

This McGill mouthpiece is produced in a marbled navy blue and black hard rod rubber (ebonite). The manufacturing tolerances are exceptional and offer the leading quality of any clarinet mouthpiece in production. This ensures each McGill clarinet mouthpiece offers exactly the same response and tone. This model would suit players who prefer a closer tip opening and harder reed set-up. Well suited to players currently using a Vandoren BD 4 or 5 mouthpiece, or a D’addario X10E. Please see comparison chart in alternate pics for more info.
