Description
The Gleichweit B6-5 Bb clarinet mouthpiece is a precision-crafted Bb clarinet mouthpiece with a closed tip opening – optimised for both cane and synthetic reeds, offering controlled response, focused tone, and reliable intonation.
Machined on advanced CNC equipment from your choice of high-grade synthetic material or hard rubber, the B6-5 delivers exceptional consistency. Its shorter facing creates a quick, immediate response – ideal for players who want precise articulation with minimal effort.
The built-in O-ring system ensures a secure, airtight fit while protecting the instrument tenon.
Versatile enough for orchestral, chamber, and ensemble playing, the B6-5 holds its own in any setting that demands tonal clarity and dependable intonation.
Every version of the B6-5 shares the same facing and tip opening – only the material, the tenon fitting and the tuning pitch differ. Select your version in the Bore menu above.
