Grabner
HiTech Clarinet
Mouthpieces | |
|
After months of research and study, I am proud to announce that I am
now producing my own mouthpieces from my own designs. I call them
the Grabner HiTech Clarinet Mouthpieces, and they are available for all
clarinets from E-flat through contra bass. My mouthpieces are produced
using cutting-edge, 21st-century technologies. They are designed using
CAD software and realized through very high-end additive manufacturing. The designs
are traditional with subtle improvements that meet the demands placed
on the 21st century clarinetist. In the sixteen months since the retirement
of Hans Zinner, I am the only mouthpiece craftsman to completely
re-design and manufacture, not one or two, but an entire line of
mouthpieces, I have been asked several times why I chose additive manufacturing to
produce my mouthpieces, and about the material I selected. Click here for a little bit more information. ClarinetFest
2019 was a tremendous success for us and for our new products. Many
thanks to all our old and new friends! We had a great kick-off for the
new mouthpieces!
Big
news - I have just launched a new mouthpiece model. It is the S3M-LE,
and it was developed specifically for use with the Legere Signature
European Cut reeds. Click here for more information.
Reviews of the new mouthpieces are starting to come in and they are great!
Walter,
I just received the mouthpieces (S2C, S2M, S3M) and I can't stop
playing them. This will be a tough decision. Congratulations on a great
new era......Nancy Skolos
Walter, I just wanted you to know this mouthpiece (S2MO) is great. I tried a couple of
other reeds on it (at home) ........and it played better than ever. I think you are indeed on to something
here!!! - Howard Green, prominent Chicago area clarinetist.
Karen and I are both enjoying the mouthpieces (B1C) you sold us at ClarinetFest..... - Andy Rochester
I just finished testing mouthpiece 246 (S3M). You really hit it out of the ballpark with this one............Bruce McGarvey
Walter, (Just) confirming
receipt of the mouthpiece (B1C). Tried it out last night and loved it.
Completely changed my tone in the upper register over the Vandoren I'd
been using. Thanks for your excellent craftsmanship! - Jeff Bruce
.........Just got home from ClarinetFest and travel through the mountains and
tried my new mouthpiece. I’m very happy. Based on my trial at the
conference, I thought I’d have some adjustment time in the altissimo
register, but once I got here it plays fine. While very close sounding
to my old mouthpiece, I like it even more. It will become my primary
mouthpiece and your previous one is now my backup.........Being a technologist, it’s satisfying to play on a
printed mouthpiece too. You really got the application of the
technology right............... Mike Graff
.........................(Upon
examing a shipment of S3M's and B1C's). Walter, these are great
mouthpieces. You should sell every one!....J. Lawrie Bloom, Chicago
Symphony Orchestra..........................

The Virtuoso Clarinet Mouthpiece
Still Available
With its dark, bold, rich tone color, it
is a proven winner.
Available in one facing, medium open. See table above for availability.
"Walter's
new Virtuoso mouthpieces have a beautiful balance of warmth, depth, and
brillance, with a lightening-fast articulation response and just enough
resistance to give us myriad color options, while still feeling free
and easy to play. Congratulations, Walter!" - Eric Mandat Click
