McGill Signature Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece

The McGill Signature Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece is all about richness of tone and ease of articulation. It has the flexibility to be able to play with a huge sound and delicately at the softest dynamic. Crafted from hard-rod rubber using the most advanced precision CNC machining in the industry, this mouthpiece is best suited for an advanced high school through consummate professional clarinetists.

*Tip from Hawkins: To re-lubricate signature mouthpiece o-rings, use a drop of almond oil or a tiny bit of cork grease on the inner wall of the barrel top tenon to improve ease of use.

Specs:

  • Medium/Open tip at 1.15mm with a Medium/Long facing, which is very free blowing and ranges with a 3.0-4.0 cane reeds and 3.5-4.25 synthetic reeds
  • A=440-441/66mm typical barrel length or A=442/65mm typical barrel length
  • Engraved with AM on the table for Anthony McGill

Includes:

One McGill Signature Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece with three medium-sized self-lubricating O-Rings, one small flathead screwdriver and one mouthpiece patch.

All Backun Signature Series Mouthpieces come with medium-sized O-Rings installed, which fit a majority of clarinet barrel tenons. 

 

"This mouthpiece has cover, warmth, vibrancy and ease of articulation. It is extremely even across the registers and plays well in tune. It is a combination of a lot of the things I look for in the many mouthpieces I’ve played over my career. In my career I need a mouthpiece that can do many different things such as play chamber music, play a Mahler symphony, play excerpts and concertos. This does it. We’re very excited to introduce it to the world."

- Anthony McGill, International Soloist and Principal Clarinet, New York Philharmonic

 

"As I have witnessed Anthony’s talents since he was in high school, his many years in opera, orchestral and solo playing, my biggest challenge in design was to find a voice in this McGill Signature mouthpiece that would have Anthony's depth of tone, ring and evenness with superior response and volume in all registers of the instrument. I believe this McGill model captures the essence of his wonderful voice with an ease and fluidity for today's performers."

- Richard Hawkins, Mouthpiece Designer and Professor, Oberlin Conservatory
