Principal clarinet- Vienna Philharmonic orchestra
„I play mouthpieces by Johannes Gleichweit out of conviction and am grateful for Hannes‘ enthusiasm and tireless spirit of research! Together, starting from the basic curve ‚Hi7‘ of my teacher Hans Hindler, we were able to develop the ‚Schorn Series‘ through small modifications, which suits me and my playing in a holistic way. Air is the connection between body and soul – if we stop breathing, we die. The mouthpieces by Johannes Gleichweit help me (in combination with the reeds by Alexander Pilgerstorfer and my clarinet setup by Otmar Hammerschmidt, Wattens/Tyrol) to produce tones ‚bedded on air‘ and thus create the most natural, vibrant music possible!“
