Clark W Fobes San Francisco Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece

Fobes developed the “San Francisco” series mouthpieces over a period of twenty years. All of these mouthpieces reflect his attention to the love of the craft of mouthpiece making and correct acoustical design. He only uses Zinner blanks for the “San Francisco” Bb and Eb clarinet mouthpieces. These fine blanks represent the best in material and consistency currently available. Hans and Carsten Zinner have been extremely helpful in producing a very fine custom blank for these mouthpieces. This blank is not available to other makers and should not be confused or compared to the Zinner blanks used by others.

In addition to using this very fine custom blank, he further customises the bore by reaming it to specs that produce superior intonation and a characteristic “Fobes” ring.
