Description
Gleichweit B8-4 – Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece (French cut reeds)
Facing: 22 mm | Tip opening: 1.20 mm | Material: premium synthetic
The Gleichweit B8-4 is precision-crafted on advanced CNC machinery from high-grade synthetic material. Featuring a medium tip opening similar to the Vandoren M30, but with a shorter facing than the B8-2, this model offers a slightly quicker response and more immediate articulation.
The built-in O-ring system ensures a secure, airtight fit while protecting the instrument tenon.
The B8-4 delivers a vibrant, centered tone with focused projection and crisp articulation. The shorter facing provides enhanced clarity and control, making it ideal for players seeking flexibility with a touch more resistance and precision across all registers, including the altissimo.
Recommended reeds: Vandoren Traditional / V12 / Rue Lepic, D’Addario Reserve Classic, Pilgerstorfer (2.5–4.0).
Milos –
I have been playing the Gleichweit B8-4 for the past three years, and it is the best mouthpiece I have ever owned. The response is incredibly even throughout all registers, with excellent intonation and effortless articulation. It provides consistency and confidence in every performance.
