Since I've had a couple of similar replies, I obviously didn't explain myself well.

I am not looking for a clarinet mute.

I am looking for a small device which attaches on the back of a clarinet mouthpiece. You do not have the rest of the clarinet - only the mouthpiece (+reed and ligature) and the device.

It offers similar resistance to playing a full clarinet, but much less volume. This could easily be carried in a pocket or small bag (especially if the mouthpiece could go inside the device for transport), and would be ideal for keeping your embouchure alive whilst travelling.

Cheers,
Bernie
