The mouthpieces are made in JodyJazz's Savannah, Georgia factory from German rod rubber, on state-of-the-art CNC machines, and then meticulously hand-finished. Every mouthpiece is measured, inspected, and play tested by Jody Espina or one of JodyJazz’s professional players on staff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree-blowing design reduces resistance for greater playing ease and energy efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers flexibility, comfort, and tonal nuance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for a wide range of ensembles and genres including classical, jazz, Banda, folk, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in tip openings 1 through 11 for different tonal preferences and projection needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge tip openings (#6–11) designed with higher baffles for brighter tone and greater projection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmaller tip openings (#1–5) designed for warm blending sound and classical settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew “Once” (11) model offers the largest tip opening available on the market\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeluxe mouthpiece pouch included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Savannah, Georgia, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFree blowing means less resistance when you blow into the mouthpiece, therefore more efficiency of energy, allowing the player more flexibility, comfort, and nuance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe HR* Clarinet mouthpiece joins the legendary HR* Series of saxophone mouthpieces that have become one of the most beloved jazz mouthpieces in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFor Concert Band, Classical Repertoire, Marching Band, Orchestra\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the tip openings, 1–5, the HR* Clarinet is not a jazz mouthpiece because it blends beautifully with a warm sound that has slightly more projection than the average classical clarinet mouthpiece. This slight extra power gives the player confidence and comfort, knowing that they will not have to struggle to keep up with forte passages, yet the mouthpiece plays with effortless control at pianissimo volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFor Jazz, Big Band, Banda, Klezmer, Greek, Turkish, Latin, Folk Music\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the tip openings 6–10, the HR* Clarinet is a “jazz” mouthpiece because JodyJazz made the large tip openings with a higher baffle than the lower tip openings, to give the mouthpiece more projection and some added brightness. If you play any style of music where you would like to have or must have more volume, you will love the JodyJazz HR* Clarinet Mouthpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eNew HR* Clarinet “Once” (11) Model\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe new HR* Clarinet “Once” model has been developed in response to requests from the Banda music community for an HR* Clarinet mouthpiece with an even larger tip opening than the 10 model which was previously the largest tip opening available. The new HR* Clarinet “Once” model has the largest tip opening of any commercially available clarinet mouthpiece on the market. “Once” is the Spanish word for 11. Because so many clarinetists in the Banda community have already made the HR* Clarinet series their preferred mouthpiece, it seemed only natural to name this new 11 tip opening the “Once” in their honor. Even with this very large tip opening, the HR* Clarinet “Once” is still very easy to play. The new “Once” model will give you the biggest sound of your life and make playing the clarinet more comfortable since you will have as much volume as you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTip Opening (Model 4): 125 mm \/ 0.049 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaterial: German rod rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFinish: Hand-finished\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManufacturing Location: Savannah, Georgia, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncluded Accessories: Deluxe mouthpiece pouch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: JodyJazz\u003cbr\u003eModel: JJHRCL4\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I649890-N-1-WHXC\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 859668003874\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
