Backun Bass Clarinet Vocalise R (Close/Short)
+ Selmer Deposé 1929 low E

In the video, I am testing only the R model, as it suits me the best, along with the differences with the reed. The sound differences with the G model are minimal, and my intention was not to make a comparison video.My previous mothpieces are Selmer Focus and Vandoren BD5.

Backun mouthpieces:

Both Backun mouthpieces (R, G) are great. They are easy to blow. The medium opening mouthpiece (G) has a lower tuning, but i can handle it with neck and this piece is easier to control tan other mpc’s .
The small opening mouthpiece (R) is more classical and balanced. Interestingly, the same reed worked well on both.
The Backun mouthpieces have an amazing dynamic range, starting from a very soft piano.
Basically, with the Backun, you can feel the craftsmanship, sense of detail, and balance.

Technology

Designed at Backun using advanced CAD/CAM software and tested with 3D printing technology, the mouthpieces are crafted from hard rod rubber on a highly advanced nine-axis CNC machine and finished in a unique done-in-one machining program that combines the milling and lathing processes without the need for a second setup or recalibration. This results in an exceptionally consistent mouthpiece that stays true to the original design.
Performance

Each mouthpiece helps the player centre articulation, pitch and altissimo, with impeccable ease and consistency of voicing. It is the first mouthpiece of its kind specifically designed to play well on both synthetic and cane reeds, in strengths 2.5 to 4.5. Articulation Management allows players to capture the appropriate length of articulations for different styles without increased effort. Now offered in two pitch levels A=440 and A=442. Please select which pitch level you wish to optimize your performance preferences.
Models
R Model Bb - Close/Short

Evenness and a focus of sound that sings with ease are two characteristics of this close facing mouthpiece. The R allows artists to articulate with reduced effort, while ringing true with fabulous clarity. This is Hawkins’s choice for young artists looking to step up to a more complex mouthpiece.
G Model Bb - Medium/Medium

A medium faced mouthpiece that combines exceptional evenness and round tonal complexity. The G has a smoother influence on interval connections just where you need it. An all-around mouthpiece for those who prefer medium facings and lengths.
H Model Bb - Open/Long

The most open facing in the lineup, the H is both smooth and dark, with ample cushion for those who need more robust flexibility throughout the registers. This mouthpiece gives as much as it takes, requiring balanced breath support and unyielding passion in performance.
