ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a mouthpiece for a clarinet and saxophone to be used with a reed. The mouthpiece has a tip and a face having two spaced sides extending towards each other from the tip. The face has an opening adjacent to the tip between the sides and a longitudinal bore communicating with the opening. The face is arcuately curved downwardly toward the tip thereby forming a face gap distance between the face and the reed. A wing member extends from each of the sides away from the opening so that the mouthpiece flares outwardly at the face to direct air into the opening. The wing members extend substantially to the tip of the mouthpiece. In addition, a spiral profile may be formed on a cylindrical surface defining the longitudinal bore. The wing members fill triangular spaced gaps between the lips to direct air into the mouthpiece opening. The mouthpiece improves the tonal qualities of the instrument and requires less effort than with conventional mouthpieces.
