Hi,

I have three MP:

  1. A VITO: throw it as far you can
  2. A CLARK FOBES: Very cheap and best price/performance I ever got for a MP
  3. A WOODWIND: Better than the Fobes, the clarinett is less queeking in the upper register, in the lower register very comparable with the Fobes, but more expensive.
I always using the Vandoren CBCL-reeds strenght 3 and a rovner 4RL for fixing the reed.
Best regards

Harald

Hello, a question for the contrabass clarinettists out there.

I understand all three brands are essentially made by Leblanc for its lines of contra clarinets. Are there dimensional variations that make them play differently?

I also know they all take Vandoren CB reeds.

I own 2 contra mouthpieces, one is a Woodwind I use on my BBb, and the other is a Leblanc for my EEb. Is it worth it to buy a Vito brand to try it out, or are they all the same and I shouldn't bother?

Appreciate any input.

Willy
