Backun Vocalise Clarinet Mouthpiece
Product Information
After decades of collecting, observing and crafting mouthpieces for many of the world’s finest artists, Richard Hawkins (celebrated player, educator and craftsman) collaborated with Backun Musical Services to develop a series of mouthpieces with tonal ring and clarity that will change the course of mouthpiece history.
Designed for all ages and experience levels, the Vocalise Series of B♭ mouthpieces features a model for every player and occasion, all of which belong in your clarinet case. Complex resonance at a reasonable price. These models have become extremely popular here at Dawkes with visiting players choosing them often in 'blind' testing.
G - Medium/Medium (440hz): 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
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.

Backun Vocalise Clarinet Mouthpiece Reviews
Excellent I think plays well
I chose this one as it suited me best in terms of ease of playing and overall quality of sound
I’m still experimenting with it so too soon to comment
I have not bought this item, I returned it. I bought the Vandoren M30 and BD5.
The supplier responded:Dear customer, Thank you for your feedback, I hope you continue to enjoy the other two mouthpieces! Kind regards, Kasey Stone - Dawkes Sales
A no fuss mouthpiece that plays well in all octaves.
Good sound and fits my Bliss clarinet well.
Super mouthpiece, really smooth and rich sounds throughout the registers. Intonation is great in the upper registers, articulation is clean and accurate. The H is a little more open than the G and provides a lovely depth of sound for me. Love it!
This gives a lovely, dark sound across the registers. on my Selmer clarinet. The trade off is that it isn't quite as easy to play but I love the sound so much that I've decided to adapt!
Nice sound and very easy blowing. Perfect with Legere reed.
Very good mouthpiece, excellent staccato , focused sound, good intonation. For me, I found that the overall sound was slightly restricted and so returned it. It is, however, a highly recommended mouthpiece which would suit many players.
