The mouthpiece best suited to musicians playing both clarinet and saxophone.
The Vandoren B46 Bb clarinet mouthpiece has been specifically designed for musicians who double on different wind instruments, particularly saxophone. This universal mouthpiece can be used for playing all genres of music, lending itself especially well for the symphonic player looking for a slightly bigger tip opening; also great if you have a classical background. This versatile mouthpiece, with the right reed choices (Vandoren recommend softer reed between 2.5-3.5+) could be the perfect mouthpiece that will work with you to make playing effortless.
With a medium tip opening and a medium length facing, this mouthpiece is a great all-rounder and would be a good one to try, especially if you have tried the B45 and found it a bit too open for your needs.
From a manufacturer with such a large selection of variable models in their range, there are so many possibilities of cut and design for each model of mouthpiece.
