Such beautiful playing. I love your sound with both.

Interesting review, thanks! Hope to try this mpc’s someday

Very informative. I like the brass version. Both seemed to have a good amount of ring to my ear.

Thanks for watching Patrick!

..like the ringing-projection of the brass version .. would love to hear the silver .. he should make a combination .. that would be cool! Do a vid on them using the vintage reeds .. ThX! Great analysis !!

Thanks for watching! I’ll try them with some vintage reeds at some point!

I play the regular one. I would try it also with a ligature which is not metal.

For me the brass sounded more present for sure! Beautiful clarity! D’Addario are fantastic reeds for these mouthpieces! 3.5 RC works really well for large ensemble playing with this particular mps in brass. Unfortunately because they are handmade each one is different and will require selecting. Great review as always!!

Thanks Junnan! I always appreciate your thoughts! I thought these mouthpieces produced a nice clarity as well!

If you can get hand ond Licostini A1, you would be really surprised, it's one of the best models... Cheers!

Querido amigo, gracias por el video, no son boquillas qué yo recomendaría, pero a ti te suenan muy bien, me encantaría una revisión chedeville umbra, un abrazo

Cool vid as always, I think the sound difference is very slight, so would chose the the more comfortable one

Have you tried the ESM mouthpieces with metal particles? Blue Heaven (MCK-1 design) and there's one called a JP-15 I think (somebody will correct me) that is pinkish red. They too play very nicely. They also have metal tenons which deepens their tone as well.

Hey Jerry, I have not tried the ESM mouthpieces, though I have heard good things about them. I will add them to the list of things to try!

@@ParkHouseCreations try the JP4 (or JP5 if you like more open) and the MCK1 (my personal fave) and if you can, trial them with brass tenon option. I no longer see "Blue Heaven" listed It's just called "Heaven" and it has the metal particles. Call Moe Bleichner and tell them I sent you.

Standard more flexible. Both produced dense focused sound with clear articulation.

In the initial comparison, I preferred the brass model: it had more body to the tone. I thought that the sound of the standard one would be too light for orchestral playing, and I was interested to see you say roughly the same at the end of the video. As for tuning, what you say matches my experience. I had a model RS on trial a couple of years ago, and one of the reasons I returned it was that the throat tones were far too flat. I suspect a contribution to this was a strange bore, which flared abruptly to much wider than normal at the exit. Did your mouthpieces have this "feature"?

Hey John, thanks for watching. Anecdotally, most of the orchestral players I know playing on this mouthpiece are using the brass version, so that tracks with both of our experiences. And it looks like there is some amount of flare at the exit, though I am not sure how it compares to the RS model. I actually hadn't noticed it before, thanks for pointing it out!

I have tried two of these mouthpieces (both the standard type without brass) and have found both to be responsive and enjoyable to play. I endorse the reviewer's comments about tuning but as I naturally play a little sharp, the tuning tendency towards slight flatness suits me well. I have used Vandoren blue box and Rue 56 with mine.

I'm glad to hear I am not the only one who noticed the similar tuning tendencies. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience Shirley!

The mouthpiece that has metallic particles does not allow to maintain the pitch at the end of each phrase. All endings with diminuendo end up being ostensibly sharp. Very nice playing!

Ah, that’s a good observation! I hesitate to blame the mouthpiece, but I do think I had to work slightly harder to get the quality of sound I personally was looking for on the Brass version. My internal adjustments probably led to the worse intonation! And thanks!

Great Video! Do you know which famous players use this model?

A good question! I can’t say for certain who is playing them at the moment. However, FDC stands for Fabio di Casola, so there is one. And I believe Stanislav Chernyschev has also played on the FDC model in the past and may still be doing so!

Try to get a German mouthpiece from licostini😅 nearly impossible😂

Brass FTW

Ok, come on, do we have *any* reason to believe that including brass powder or whatever in the mouthpiece material makes *any* meaningful acoustic difference? I can’t get my head around how it could possibly work. Especially since the effect - if any - would have to be so small that it would be dwarfed by the irregularities of manufacture in the stuff that we know matters (chamber, window, facing, etc). I saw a few of these mouthpieces with various embedded metals at ClarinetFest last year, and I couldn’t keep a straight face looking at the various justifications for why this matters acoustically (I remember one that was claiming some sort of acoustic sympathy with the metal bands on the join). I can’t help but think this is just a marketing gimmick designed to feed clarinetists’ insecurities and to separate them from their hard-earned cash.
