Great video, love when you do detailed product reviews like these 👍

[@beamoorefrank5194]

I have 2 G mouthpieces, for both Bb and A. These are really nice. I use VD reeds.

[@SarahSkilton]

I know I am late to seeing this, but what a great informative video, thank you for such a detailed review and conversation.

[@dawkesmusic]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dlad128]

Can you compare and contrast shifrin signature versus vocalese (sp)?

[@JoeTigheOnline]

Damn...awesome clarinet tone.

[@sherrybirchall8677]

Which is better for easy high notes?

[@AlvinsThoughts]

If blowing then H But as I always say new mouthpiece which is not damaged in beak mouth part (it can be old, it depends how gently you use mouthpiece, not falling on the ground etc.)will be playing good Of course some mouthpieces more responsible (it can be both medium and large opening mouthpiece) for ex. B45 or this Backun vocalise H and that's because it's structure and large tip opening. But the main thing of nice response IS non-damaged beak. I can tell it because of my experience and knowledge of my teachers. So you can depend on it surely.

R with cane!

[@noahjones6616]

Can you elaborate what you mean? Cane is warmer and better tone …

[@1cleandude]

So the Legere is not a cane Reed??

[@dawkesmusic]

Correct - Legere are fully synthetic reeds. Available for Clarinet via: www.dawkes.co.uk/legere-bb-clarinet-signature-reed/05158

[@jimis3167]

I've tried a european cut 3.50 on my BD5 and sound was not good like with v12 3.5, I went out of tune, I couldn't keep stable long notes and sound was lifeless.. I woner If I would try a signature series would work better...

[@danielkwon4679]

it may be because the legere european cut 3.5 is almost almost equivalent to a v12 4. heres a strength chart if you wantwww.legere.com/need-to-know/strength-charts/

[@jimis3167]

@@danielkwon4679 Do not take this chart as a standard point.. Legere European 3.50 to me felt like a light v12 3.5.. Also, It probably needs some other mouthpiece like a Vocalise to work properly, I find as a reed, It isn't quite suitable for playing on my BD5, so unfotunately I have to stick with v12 3.5 reeds this time...

[@TheAries414]

What is the ligature that is on that backun he is playing or does it come with thr mouthpieces

[@Cornodebassetto]

It’s an old GF System ligature of mine. I didn’t want to scratch the mouthpieces while changing between cane and synthetic reed.

[@jimis3167]

Why you didn't demo the Backun CG Vocalise here in this video??

[@dawkesmusic]

Because it didn't exist at that point :) Nor did the Z. So, there's a new video in the pipeline. Just need to be able to get back into the studio after C-19.

[@jimis3167]

@@dawkesmusic It'll get about a month to upload this video with CG vocalise??

[@emjay2045]

@@dawkesmusic have you made a demo video of the new CG & Z models yet ?

[@mixalisraptis7456]

What is the tip opening for each model. I'd like to know what is the more open

[@dawkesmusic]

The H is the most open of these 3. There is also a new Z model coming which is even more open and also has a long facing. We should have a review video in the next few weeks.

[@jimis3167]

So, you think that is ok to just order one randomly and not try many same? It will be what It is on every Vocalise of same model or they will be minor differences like on all common hard rubber mouthpieces of the same model?

[@dawkesmusic]

In our opinion, due to the way these are made it is pretty much impossible for there to be any difference in how they play.
