I have now been playing on mouthpiece facings by Johannes Gleichweit for 20 years. We have known each other since our student days, and I value him as an outstanding clarinettist for whom the sound of the Viennese clarinet has always been a particular concern.
He knows exactly which criteria are decisive for a good mouthpiece. Johannes Gleichweit always strives with great passion to meet the requirements and needs of a clarinettist especially well – and when it comes to customer friendliness he is simply unbeatable.
Recommended Reeds
The HH1 plays best with high-quality Viennese wooden reeds. The following reeds are particularly recommended for this mouthpiece.
