Hello,

I recently got a contrabass clarinet and made a mouthpiece for it.  
I've played my entire career as a soprano clarinetist, so am just now 
delving into the low clarinets.  I wondered if anyone had any luck with 
contrabass mouthpieces and, if so, what facing curve you put on.  Mine 
is playing pretty well, and it's probably me just needing to learn the 
low clarinet better, but I just wonder if a different facing curve 
would be more efficient.  Thanks for your thoughts!

Hi, Ben.

I read you made a Contrabass Clarinet Mouthpiece. I m trying to make an Contrabass clarinet mouthpiece with a baritone reed.
I would like very much to see pictures of your own made mouthpiece if you can send me those I will be very gratefull.
I m a clarinet soloist of the Buenos Aires Philarmonic Orchestra in Argentina.

I will appreciate very much if you could reply me.

Many thanks.

Regards,

Matias Tchicourel.
