Traditional Profile 88 for Versatile Playing
The M13 mouthpiece features a medium-open facing with a profile inspired by vintage American designs.

Handcrafted Ebonite for Optimal Sound
Vandoren crafts the M13 mouthpiece from the highest quality ebonite to produce a resonant, focused tone. Ebonite is a hard rubber material prized for clarinet mouthpieces due to its ability to vibrate freely without dampening the instrument's sound. The ebonite used in Vandoren mouthpieces is carefully cured and aged before being crafted into mouthpieces. This meticulous process results in a mouthpiece with a rich, centered tone and quick response.
