Vandoren BLACK DIAMOND 5 - CM1005

Description

Mouthpiece - Vandoren - BD5

Intended for clarinetists, the Black Diamond by Vandoren proves to be a true piece of goldsmithery, with a unique interior and exterior design. A perfect balance thanks to an exceptional depth of sound, a round and compact tone.

A design thought for playing comfort.
With the Black Diamond, Vandoren once again demonstrates its innovative and aesthetic qualities with the interior and exterior design of this exceptional model. A round and full sound in all registers, including the high register, easy to emit, is what makes the charm of this magnificent mouthpiece.

Ebonite, an optimal material for mouthpiece making.
Made from a mixture of natural rubber, sulphur and linseed oil, ebonite is shaped through a dozen or so steps to produce beautiful mouthpieces with over 90% of the outer surface polished. Only the table will remain rough in order to avoid any inaccuracy that would be due to too much polishing.

I switched from a B45 mouthpiece with a classic ligature and standard Vandoren reeds to this BD5 mouthpiece with a Vandoren M/O ligature and Vandoren V12 reeds: pure happiness! The first hour of use, I thought: nothing new here, I don't play better or worse than before this change... but very quickly, and now after several weeks of use, I am truly convinced and amazed by the sound rendering of this mouthpiece/ligature/reeds combination. When Vandoren writes on the mouthpiece box "an exceptional depth of sound, a round and compact tone, the perfect balance," I must say that is exactly it. In the low and mid registers, this is especially true, even when playing pianissimo. This mouthpiece offers real homogeneity across all registers and a genuine added value to the quality of the emitted sound. I highly recommend adopting this mouthpiece! For your information, I have no affiliation with Vandoren and I am no longer a professional clarinetist.... (Show more)

Really a very good mouthpiece. Compared to a 5RV, on the same clarinet, the same reed, and the same clarinetist, you go from a somewhat nasal sound to a full, round, and easy-to-produce sound. This mouthpiece is a real success

Paired with a semi-rigid Brancher ligature, the sound is fantastic: powerful yet warm. The highs come through better than on my B40L. Thanks to Vandoren and Woodbrass.

Excellent mouthpiece. Very round sound, "velvet" type, perhaps a little less timbred than a CL4. Easy and solid highs. To try it is to adopt it.
