I've recently joined the Behn Mouthpieces Artists team. I first became acquainted with Brad Behn's mouthpieces at the 2013 ClarinetFest in Assisi. I had tried some of his pieces for clarinet, and found one that I really liked in his Signature Collection. It was quite open (something like 1.56 tip opening... typical "classical" mouthpieces are between 1.0-1.10 or so), which I like for klezmer, jazz, and a lot of contemporary music. It blew quite freely, and I had a lot of flexibility for bending notes, multiphonics, and slap tongues. It's also loud as hell! But what especially caught my attention was how clean and centered the tone still was.
