Product Overview
The SAV Bb clarinet mouthpiece represents a century of expert Chedeville craftsmanship, tracing its prestigious heritage to Charles Chedeville who founded the company in Paris, France, building on his family's long tradition of musicians and instrument makers. By 1924, Chedeville mouthpieces were competing head-to-head with other renowned French manufacturers, establishing the gold standard reputation for uniquely rich tones that has made Chedeville the choice of professional clarinetists and saxophonists worldwide.
The Size 1 with its narrow 0.039" tip opening provides exceptional control and refined articulation essential for classical repertoire, chamber music, and orchestral performance. This specification allows for the subtle dynamic control and precise intonation required for symphonic work while maintaining the rich harmonic content that defines quality classical clarinet sound. The narrow opening promotes excellent embouchure control and supports the focused, centered tone preferred in classical and orchestral settings.
Constructed from premium German rod rubber—the same material used in other JodyJazz mouthpieces—the SAV offers the legendary Chedeville sound quality at an accessible price point. Each mouthpiece is precision-crafted using CNC technology for accuracy and consistency, then meticulously hand-finished and individually play-tested by expert makers in Savannah, Georgia, ensuring the consistent, polished performance that professional classical musicians demand.
