Re: Backun Signature Clarinet Mouthpiece

I've seen a lot less provided information.......for example the Vocalise.

The Kessler page also claims a 19mm long facing. To me that is a long facing. You could say 17mm is more a medium with 15mm being short.

As for the baffle, my visit last year with Clark Fobes may explain that. The late great Zinner mouthpiece maker had a version called the A-model. That blank featured the A-frame which you see in the bore image (tone chamber angling out toward the baffle) AND a particularly deep baffle. This causes another specific response (for me, it allows a freer blowing note that holds the center better). It was the blank Hawkins used a lot many years ago for his custom mouthpieces. Fortunately for me, Fobes has a blank from Wesley Rice that is very similar.
