More on the Gleichweit Stephan


As mentiond by Michael Lowenstern/


And holy hell, the GleichweitStephanis an insane mouthpiece. Developed for Stephan Vermeersch, they clearly pulled out the chain saw to open this thing up. HUGE mouthpiece: 2.31mm tip opening and a 32mm length. Still, you can play athe same "middle-of-the-road" reed on it, and somehow it doesn't feel like you're driving a Mack Truck. Apparently, this is one of Gleichweit'smost popular bass clarinet mouthpieces. I can understand why; using the same crayon analogy, it's like having this.


This mouthpiece will punch any barisax in the face if it gets too close, but it also has its softer side: even using a #3 reed, it can produce a warm, dark sound with the right embouchure control.
