The new Vandoren J5 clarinet mouthpiece

I stumbled upon this on Amazon while looking for a different mouthpiece.

It's an acrylic, student mouthpiece, 1.0 mm/34 facing with rubber "O" rings.

I highly recommend checking it out. Why? Because Julian Bliss performs (imo) an absolutely astounding, very long and very slow gliss which I have never heard played like this before. (I actually clicked on the video twice because I enjoyed it so much.) (Yes, I know....it's the player and not the equipment.)

Perhaps this is old news for some, but entirely new to me.

I wanted to provide a link to Amazon, but, I think that's against the rules.

Here's Vandoren's intro ad: https://vandoren.fr/en/new-juno-j5-bb-clarinet-mouthpiece/
