In a joint development effort with Claus Raumberger, music journalist and author of „Das Saxophon“, we have expanded our range of clarinet mouthpieces. New to the family are the tables RCR 3, 5 and 6.
Table „RCR.3“ produces a strong, dark tone with volume and depth, round head tones and powerful clarino register. Players should have a mature embouchure, as stronger reeds are recommended for use with this table.
„RCR.5“ creates a highly brilliant sound with first-class projection capabilities allowing for dynamic shading of the tone. Here, lighter reeds can be used as well.
„RCR.6“ features the longest table. The mouthpiece responds very easily providing a fluent tone with a rather German sound character. Among the three new models, this is the most „reed-friendly“ one.
All reed makes based on the French design can be used, however, models with a stronger shaft are recommended for use with table „RCR.6“(e.g. Pflaumer „Sinus F, Foglietta „F“ Rico „Grand Concert thick blank“ and Vandoren „V12“).
Basically, our new tables are suitable for any musical style, with model „RCR.3“ being optimized for concert and chamber music, while model „RCR.5“will be appreciated by jazz musicians, in particular. Table „RCR.6“ is a genuine all-round model. Although primarily designed for Boehm clarinets, all three tables will produce excellent results on German clarinets, too.
