ESM MOuthpieces
ESM makes fantastic professional clarinet and saxophone mouthpieces in a variety of facings to address every player. They also offer several different material options to offer different feels and sound characteristics depending on the player's needs.
Black Acrylic
The black acrylic generally offers the warmest sound. It's not made from hard rubber so you don't have to worry about having it in your case with your clarinet.
HEAVEN Material
ESM's "HEAVEN" material is not only pretty - its blue acrylic has metal particles embedded to offer a more immediate response and extra brightness for the sound. This option is especially popular for saxophone.
Metal Ring
The metal ring on the tenon is optional for the clarinet and comes standard on the saxophone models. It makes for a more immediate response and connection to the instrument.
