Pomarico Crystal Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece - Sapphire

Product Information

The Pomarico Sapphire Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece is the open-tip option in the new Jewels collection, offering an easier opening than the Ruby whilst maintaining crystal's unique tonal character. Made from pure Italian crystal sourced in Tuscany, the Sapphire never warps or changes shape, providing unparalleled mechanical stability. Excellent for students and players seeking an accessible, open response without sacrificing professional sound quality.

The Sapphire features a wider 1.15 mm tip opening with 20 mm facing length and medium chamber, producing an open, broad sound suited to most genres. Recommended reed strength is medium-soft (2.5–3). Crystal construction delivers distinctive tonal qualities impossible with ebonite alone, allowing players to experience and appreciate crystal's sonic advantages. The open design encourages free, easy articulation across all registers.

Part of the four-model Jewels range (Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Diamond), the Sapphire bridges accessibility and professional grade, ideal for developing musicians. Handcrafted in Italy since 1950, each mouthpiece meets the highest standards. We recommend the Sapphire for students and intermediate clarinettists seeking professional-grade stability with genuine crystal tone.
