Corbin Signature Mouthpiece - Marbled Hard Rubber
Corbin Signature Mouthpiece - Marbled Hard Rubber
The Corbin Signature mouthpiece is the result of 10 years of dedicated research and innovation. Crafted from the highest quality German rod rubber chosen for its acoustic properties, its unique chamber design and baffle contour produce a full, rich sound with presence and color. The optimized side and tip rail design cater to cane and synthetic reeds, resulting in quick, responsive, and crisp articulation without sacrificing tone quality. Experience a truly special mouthpiece crafted with expert precision by Brian Corbin.
The original blank used as the inspiration for our mouthpiece was pitched slightly higher at A=442. By reworking the length of the mouthpiece and the depth of the bore, we've increased the volume to make this mouthpiece suitable for 440 - 441 players with "standard" length barrels.
Facings
B1: 1.03mm, Long
Recommended reeds: 3.5+ to 4.0+
The B1 is a close, long facing with a feel more reminiscent of some German style facings but with increased flexibility and color. A harder reed is required for this type of mouthpiece.
B1+: 1.06mm, Long
Recommended reeds: 3.5 - 4.0
Same long facing curve as the B1, but slightly more open tip. This facing will take a slightly softer reed than the B1 and has a little more "blow through."
B2: 1.13mm, Medium Long
Recommended reeds: 3.5
The B2 facing is marked by a slight increase in resistance due to the larger tip opening and slightly shorter facing. This allows for slightly softer reeds to sing.
*Note that the marbled mouthpieces are made from the same German rod rubber but with added coloring for a beautiful appearance. The marbled pieces are slightly harder than the standard black hard rubber, and there is a somewhat different "ring" to the sound.
