What are the tuning characteristics of Behn Vintage Collection mouthpieces?
All of our mouthpieces are designed to play slightly higher than A440 with stock barrels. This allows all clarinetists to find a solution. If you need to play lower the solution is to either pull out or play on a longer barrel. If you need to play higher, our mouthpieces should work fine with your stock barrel. Additionally, we have designed our mouthpiece’s bores and chambers to improve the problem areas of clarinet intonation. The typically wide twelfths are improved as our mouthpiece’s tuning ratios are corrected.
