Vandoren Black Diamond Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece
Product Information
The Vandoren Black Diamond ebonite mouthpiece features a unique internal and external design. This new internal design developments offer the musician a full sound, rich in depth and colour, especially in the upper register of the clarinet.
Vandoren as a brand are incredibly popular when it comes to mouthpiece production, and this is arguably their most reliable range. The flexibility in play is unmatched and their tone across all of the registers is incredibly even.
There are now a number of BD model options - each offers a different tip opening and facing design. These different designs allow for players to still enjoy the overall tone offered by the Black Diamond range, but with an overall higher level of control over the experience of playing the mouthpiece. A more closed mouthpiece provides a more focused sound whereas the more open pieces create an overall rounder, richer tone.
Vandoren BD2: A full, rounded tone which uses the facing design of the M13 lyre. Highly regarded for precision and purity. The closest tip opening and thus rewards using harder reeds.

Vandoren Black Diamond Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece Reviews
I tried this on my RC setup and didn't think the tone was sweet enough for me. It was quite closed so didn't suit me. I tried this on approval and ended up with a Selmer mouthpiece from Dawkes, of a similar price, which I'm very happy with.
The BD5 suits my playing style very well. I like the warm tone it gives me with my set up - Buffet RCs and V12 reeds.
Better than the BD5. Bit more free blowing. I use a Jody Jazz HR6 for jazzy stuff but needed something more round and smooth for classical work. The BD5 closed up on me but if I used a stronger Reed it was too woolly. The BD 6 is a better fit for me.
Tried the BD5 Bakun G and M30 of which the M30 and BD5 I liked the most for me and kepted.
Nice mouthpiece with a centred sound and good power. Beyond that, it's probably just a matter of preference but, in my case, I preferred the Bacun because it gave a more distinctive tone quality on my clarinet..
First class product, thank you.
A comfortable mouthpiece with a good tone.
warm tone and smooth with good dynamic range, but for me I found it a little restricting to blow.
for me this mouthpiece was really hard to blow and tiring with the reeds I am used to using. It seemed to have the potential for a warm rich tone but was not right for me and my embouchure.
A really great mouthpiece
