Hi Paul. They are done by CNC but then hand finished. This is what I have always appreciated so much about Ramon’s work- the detail. He really understands what makes mouthpieces work and knows how to balance out all the different elements.

Klarinetkid mentioned the new material. It certainly seems stronger to me. I’ve only had the mouthpieces a few months now but I have the feeling that they will remain stable for quite some time. So I think this CNC plus hand finishing is the perfect combination.

Regarding the difference between N1 and N2, it’s hard to describe in words. They are quite similar and both have beautifully centred sound, good quality in all dynamics, balanced registers and easy articulation. I found the N2 immediately comfortable, as if “made” for my mouth. But playing on the N1 I am able to get a more “special” quality in the sound - a wonderful presence.

But I’m sure it’s all very personal. I’ve never been a player of close-tipped mouthpieces, but the Wodkowski models work really well for me.
