Description
How often have you heard the wish: “I don’t want my E-flat clarinet to sound shrill and overly bright”? Have you ever wondered whether the mouthpiece and its tip opening play a role? They absolutely do – and that’s exactly where we focused. The Gleichweit-JG6 was designed to be an E-flat clarinet mouthpiece that is easy to control and comfortable to play – especially for orchestral musicians who need to switch between clarinets on stage. With a facing length of 23 mm and a tip opening of 1.19 mm, the JG6 delivers a balanced, focused sound – without the typical harshness often associated with the E-flat clarinet.
