Key Specifications:

Reed Compatibility: French cane reeds
• Facing Length: 24 mm

The B9-2 stands out for its expressiveness, depth, and tonal authority – a mouthpiece for ambitious clarinetists who want to develop their own distinct sound.

Available in Standard PMMA or Premium Hard Rubber

PMMA- Standard
• A modern, high-precision material
• Produces a more focused and direct sound
• Offers excellent projection and quick response to articulation
• Surface is highly durable and doesn’t oxidize over time
• Favored by players looking for a clear, modern tone
• Often visually striking – available in different colours
Premium Hard Rubber (Ebonite)
• A traditional material used in mouthpiece making for over a century
• Known for a warmer, rounder and richer sound
• Produces complex harmonics and a different playing feel compared to PPMA- Standard material
• Can oxidize or develop a patina (green tint) if not cleaned regularly
• Preferred by many classical and orchestral players for its tonal depth
• Feels more “alive” under the lips, especially at softer dynamics
In short:
• PMMA- Standard = clean, modern tone with technical precision
• Premium Hard Rubber = warm, traditional sound with rich character
