Looking for the largest tip opening - tseligas - April 10th, 2013

So i did my research and I discovered a variety of information.

Check out this link first for a clarinet tip opening comparison chart. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&cad=rja&ved=0CE8QFjAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftheowanne.com%2Fsystem%2Fresources%2FBAhbBlsHOgZmSSI0MjAxMS8xMS8zMC8xNi8yMS8wMS81OTkvQ2xhcmluZXRfVGlwT3BlbmluZy5wZGYGOgZFVA%2F&ei=IipmUYb7KZez4AOMoIDgBg&usg=AFQjCNGPRjPy4N-Mauz-NqoqpfMM5-I51g&sig2=pQNn6ibQftBqc2WfxOrRDQ&bvm=bv.45107431,d.dmg

Do you agree with me that this is probably the trick for greek music?
So check out the chart above and see that there are mouthpieces with up to 1.78mm opening vs the 5JB.

Any experiences? I would like to see how the extreme feels like!

This might be more like a treasure hunt. Haven't been able to find the
Theo Wanne or Pomarico large opening mouthpieces.

If you check out Pomaricos website they refer to the Vintage mouthpiece that has a large opening (only 1.37)

Will keep looking tomorrow!

Ok, I found something available after some search.
Check out this chart:

http://www.jodyjazz.com/facings.clarinet.html

The Jodyjazz classic 9 is so far the widest opening I was able to find.
Clasified as more than Jazz.

Anybody has some experience? at $160 it is on the pricey side but nothing too crazy.

the good mouthpieces do cost . over $140.00 ,ive seen tip openings 2.10 thats is big what pupose do they serve ,i dont know .


Looking for the largest tip opening - chitowngreek - April 11th, 2013

after some searching ,they have mouthpieces with a 2.60 opening, what do you make of it .


Looking for the largest tip opening - tseligas - April 11th, 2013

I guess you have a very loud sound with a lot of bending capability.
Post the link!

after more research, alto sax. and tenor sax use those mouthpieces..for a clarinet the 2.60 seemed kinda big

Yes, I think it would make it resonate too hard..

I like the 7jb. Open with bending capability.
