Re: Bass Clarinet Mouthpiece

You pretty much covered the whole list of Vandoren mouthpieces, except the B50.

Based on the VD spec sheets, the BD5 is not as open as your B40 and has the same ML facing length. The B46 and B50 would be your choices for a wider Vandoren piece and either might be what you are looking for.

But as we all know too well, we don't play the spec sheets and what works for one of us might not work for you.

I am also a Clark Fobes fan and use his San Francisco RR on my bass clarinet. I like this better than the Vandoren pieces, but that was only after I tested a few pieces to see what worked for me.
