Rico Reserve Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece, Medium Open Facing Details

Overview Precise intonation, a velvety sound that's able to cut through a large orchestra, a truly consistent tone at all volumes—you can finally have it all. Introducing Reserve: The world's first 100% precision-milled, vintage-inspired clarinet mouthpiece. Produced in cooperation with the world's preeminent clarinetists, craftsmen and engineers, the Reserve mouthpiece combines vintage design with special production techniques to provide the perfect balance of tone and feel—a uniquely inspiring experience, even for the musicians who helped create it. Made in the USA, Reserve mouthpieces are produced under the strictest standards to deliver unparalleled consistency.

Modern Technology Superior materials, the efficient use of air, masterful attention to detail, the ability to produce a vast spectrum of tone colors with ease—there's a reason why Reserve mouthpieces are inspired by vintage mouthpieces of the 1920s. Bridging the gap between modern and vintage, Reserve mouthpieces owe as much to cutting-edge technology as they do to high-quality vintage design. Exclusive machines and revolutionary production techniques developed by Rico and D'Addario provide Reserve mouthpieces with the vintage-inspired (though thoroughly modern) features artists demand. Made to exacting standards, every last Reserve mouthpiece that comes off the line is as precise and pitch-perfect as the first—no hand finishing required.

Team Reserve What began as an innocent question—"Could we create the world's best vintage-inspired clarinet mouthpiece?"—rapidly progressed into a project that would attract the most talented clarinetists, craftsmen and engineers from around the country. Preeminent clarinetists including Mark Nuccio and Richie Hawley—with their mastery of the instrument and passion for vintage mouthpieces were tapped as artistic advisors for the Reserve mouthpiece project. As their innovative ideas, concepts and requirements unfolded, Rico and D'Addario hired Lee Livengood—who is famous for his artisanal handmade mouthpieces—to oversee production and help bring this superior new mouthpiece to life.

Milled, Not Molded Reserve mouthpieces are milled, not molded, from solid rubber rods. This is how mouthpieces were made back in the good old days—when vintage mouthpieces were just mouthpieces. Milling from solid rubber affords ultimate control over every aspect of mouthpiece design and ensures the greatest production consistency. Today, most mouthpieces are made from molded blanks, which can produce inconsistent results.

Beautiful, Inside and Out With their polished angles and glorious curves, Reserve mouthpieces are simply stunning. But that's only half the story. Inside the Reserve mouthpiece lies an incredibly effective design that provides a perfect centered and soaring tone at all volumes. The bore, baffle and throat shape produce a velvety sound that never sacrifices tone quality or intonation—from pianissimo to full-blast fortissimo. Reserve mouthpieces are rooted in vintage design but are produced using ultra-modern methods, offering an unparalleled evenness in the tone—a mouthpiece characteristic clarinetists have been chasing since the dawn of the instrument.

Made Possible By Technology Revolutionary products require revolutionary technology, and Reserve mouthpieces are no exception. CAT scan technology was used to study dozens of vintage mouthpieces and collect all their best characteristics. Master mouthpiece craftsman Lee Livengood played a key role in Reserve production helping Rico's team of engineers refine the design. Thousands of prototypes later, it was distilled to its purest form. On the production line, Rico has established a quality control process that adheres to the strictest aerospace tolerances, the same ones used by NASA.

Rico & D'Addario Rico and D'Addario—the world's largest maker of musical instrument accessories—have a lot in common. Both are family businesses, both share the philosophy that musicians deserve the best, and both have insatiable appetites for technological innovation. When Rico joined the D'Addario family in 2004, it was with the promise of making Rico reeds the most consistent reeds available. Today, Rico has the most precise reed production system in the world. Partnering with D'Addario has allowed Rico to inspire countless reed players to fill the world with music which, for both companies, makes it all worth it.
