Vandoren - CM1404 Black Diamond Série 13 BD4

On the Bb clarinet, the Vandoren CM1404 Black Diamond Série 13 BD4 provides a very pleasant sensation of stability from the very first notes. The breath easily finds its place in the instrument and the sound unfolds smoothly, while retaining a nice density. The timbre remains round and well centred, and each note retains its colour, from low to high register.

The design and interior architecture of this model are typical of the Black Diamond series, renowned for its ability to add depth to the sound while maintaining clear articulation. Attacks remain clean and the clarinet retains a natural presence, ideal for shaping musical phrases with precision.

The Series 13 has been designed for musicians who play with the pitch of A 440 Hz, which is very common in the United States. Made from ebonite, a material derived from vulcanised natural rubber, this mouthpiece is part of a manufacturing tradition that favours stability of sound and finesse of tone.
