Clark Fobes Nova Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece

The Nova Bb clarinet mouthpiece is a professionally hand finished hard rubber mouthpiece that produces wonderful tonal results at an affordable price. The Nova is a popular model made from a J. J. Babbit Co. custom mold which as expected from Fobes is hand finished for superior results. The hand finishing process starts from the blank which is then hand bored and finished with either a CF+ or 3L facing, they are then play tested and adjusted for optimal colour, response and intonation.
The process of optimising each mouthpiece is characteristic of Fobes’ range of mouthpieces. Utilising the same process for every model he produces, Fobes puts his care and attention into creating a professionally finished mouthpiece at any price point.

The Nova is a flexible mouthpiece and a serious contender in the professional clarinet market. It is definitely one to try to see if this model could be the mouthpiece for you.
