Vandoren M13 Série 13 Profile 88 B♭ Clarinet Mouthpiece
Unmatched focus, pure resonance, and precise intonation.
The Vandoren M13 (Série 13 / Profile 88) is an elite choice for advancing students, collegiate performers, and orchestral clarinetists seeking an exceptionally dark, centered, and pure tone. Featuring a close 1.005 mm tip opening and a long facing, the M13 provides remarkable resistance and control, allowing the player to produce a warm, focused sound with precise articulation and an effortless, locked-in altissimo register.
Tuned specifically to the American pitch standard of A=440 (Série 13) and sculpted with Vandoren’s Profile 88 exterior beak angle, it offers a shallower, more comfortable embouchure position that reduces jaw fatigue during extended rehearsals. This mouthpiece pairs exceptionally well with harder reeds (#3.5 to #5), making it a favorite for classical repertoire and symphonic performance.
