Re: Brilhart Ebolin Special Mouthpiece

Hi Alyra,

Brilhart MPs are well liked and used often on sax but I don't believe have had as wide an acceptance for clarinet. I sometimes play a Brilhart Tonalin on alto but prefer a Selmer C* or Meyer 6M.

On clarinet, I prefer a Portnoy BP02, a Stowell 2, or a VD 2RV. Others on the BB use and swear but all sorts of brands.

What's the point you may ask?

It is you should use what you like and what works best for you no matter what the brand. I was talking to the former principal clarinet in a college wind ensemble and when I asked her what MP she played, she said "you are going to laugh but I use a ......." which was a student first step-up MP. Of course, I did not laugh.

Hope this helps.

HRL
