B. Corbin Signature Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece

Crafted with Expert Precision by Brian Corbin

The B. Corbin Signature mouthpiece is the result of 10 years of dedicated research and innovation. Crafted from the highest quality imported German rod rubber, its unique chamber design and baffle contour produce a full, rich sound with presence and color.

The optimized side and tip rail design cater to both cane and synthetic reeds, resulting in quick, responsive, and crisp articulation without sacrificing tone quality.

Models

B1:1.03mm,Long
Recommended reeds: 3.5+ to 4.0+
The B1 is a closed, long facing mouthpiece with a feel more reminiscent of some German style facings but with increased flexibility and color. A harder reed is required for this type of mouthpiece.

B1+: 1.06mm, Long
Recommended reeds: 3.5 – 4.0
Same long facing curve as the B1, but slightly more open tip. This facing will take a slightly softer reed than the B1 and has a little more “blow through.”

B2:1.13mm,Medium Long
Recommended reeds:3.5
The B2 facing is marked by a slight increase in resistance due to the larger tip opening and slightly shorter facing. This allows for slightly softer reeds to sing.

B3: 1.17mm, Medium Long (CUSTOM ORDER ONLY – EMAIL FOR TRIAL)
Recommended reeds: 3.0 – 3.5
The most open mouthpiece Corbin offers. This mouthpiece requires softer reeds and is more flexible in many ways, but it may be harder to control for those who are used to more closed facings.

More Specifications

A = 440

The original blank used as the inspiration for our mouthpiece was pitched slightly higher at A = 442 Hz. By reworking the length of the mouthpiece and the depth of the bore, we’ve increased the volume to make this mouthpiece suitable for 440 – 441 players with “standard” length barrels.

O-Rings

B. Corbin utilizes O-rings on the mouthpiece tenon instead of the traditional cork as O-rings last longer, remain more stable, and are easier to replace for the consumer. Each mouthpiece will come with two sizes, a soft and medium option. If the mouthpiece is too loose with the soft rings, install the medium rings or a combination of soft and medium for the best custom fit.
