The rumours are true. Backun Musical Services has reinvented yet another piece of the clarinet puzzle - mouthpieces. Together with Ricardo Morales, Principal Clarinet in The Philadelphia Orchestra, Morrie Backun has designed and prototyped a custom clarinet mouthpiece that features complex CNC (Computer Numeric Control) technology, in addition to the utilization of laser cutting and modification. These mouthpieces take advantage of the laws of physics and science with the use of The Boundary Layer; a complex property that increases the vibration and response of the reed, as it floats on the mouthpiece table. In addition to this, a series of grooves complete the Resonance Tempering - a technique that was devised to strengthen the tip, table and rails of the mouthpiece in order to assure accurate facings and specifications that can be reproduced time and time again. To discover a whole new take on the mouthpiece, and see what all the talk is about, contact the Woodwind & Brasswind to learn more about the Morales Backun Custom Mouthpiece. |
