Retail Price: ¥31,790 I selected and purchased this around the time it was released in May of this year. I was able to choose from many, so I selected a piece with better airflow and good intonation. I originally used the BD5, but the HD series removes the "stuffy" feeling unique to the BD, while maintaining the tone and ease of playing, and giving a more solid impression. Even when performing in a large hall, such as a wind ensemble, I believe the sound will carry well to the back rows. I liked it so much that I bought both a lighter and a heavier feeling one at the same time, and I've been using the lighter one as my main mouthpiece because of its compatibility with my reeds. This one has a slightly firmer feel, but it's a very good piece, so please consider it. 【Brand Reliability】 Vandoren is a brand with a long track record in the field of clarinet mouthpieces.
