Vandoren has been one of the top names in mouthpieces and reeds for years.
The Black Diamond series represents perfect balance between a dark, rich, yet compact sound. Bernard Van Doren crafted the first BD5 by hand in the 1970s and forty years later, armed with cutting edge technology, Vandoren is able to precisely re-create that same exceptional mouthpiece each and every time.
The Black Diamond series is available in 4 different models for Bb Clarinet, BD4, BD7, BD5 and BD5-Series13.
The 'Series 13' range was initially developed for American clarinet players and designed to play at A-440 pitch.
