Pomarico Crystal Clarinet Mouthpiece - Ruby

Product Information

The Pomarico Ruby Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece is part of the new Jewels collection, continuing Pomarico's heritage of handcrafted crystal mouthpieces since 1950. Made from pure Italian crystal sourced in Tuscany, the Ruby delivers a solid, rich dark sound ideal for orchestral playing and grade exams. Unlike ebonite, crystal never warps or changes shape, offering unparalleled stability and a unique tonal perspective.

The Ruby features a medium 1.09 mm tip opening with 18 mm facing length and medium chamber, adding the wonderful dark sound of crystal with a versatile opening suited to most players. Recommended reed strength is 3 to 3.5. The mouthpiece's crystal construction provides a distinctive tonal character whilst ensuring mechanical consistency through years of regular performance.

Part of a four-model range (Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Diamond) offering increasing tip openings for different playing styles, the Ruby sits as the accessible middle choice for players seeking professional-grade tone without excessive opening resistance. We recommend the Pomarico Ruby for clarinettists valuing authentic Italian craftsmanship, distinctive crystal sound, and reliable mechanical stability.
