Description
The Gleichweit-D5-4 is closely related to the D5: both share an almost identical tip opening (around 1.0 mm). Thanks to its noticeably longer facing of 30 mm (instead of 25 mm on the D5), however, the D5-4 takes on a different sound character – rounder, warmer and especially smooth in its response. A Bb clarinet mouthpiece for German reeds.
