The Chedeville “Umbra” Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece creates a beautiful dark sound full of rich colors. The Umbra is darker in sound color than our Elite model and also has less resistance, a combination that is seldom found in a clarinet mouthpiece. Because the mouthpiece doesn’t add resistance, you will have no limits in dynamics, colors, or articulation.
No expense has been spared in creating the Chedeville Umbra model clarinet mouthpiece. Starting with our proprietary “Chedeville Rubber”, which is a more pure rod ebonite that recreates the great rod rubber of Pre World War II legendary Chedeville mouthpieces. If you don’t see the symbol CHR on the mouthpiece than it does not have “Chedeville Rubber” .
The most advance form of digital scanning was used on a legendary vintage Chedeville mouthpieces to assure that we were starting with a true Chedeville mouthpiece “blank”. In the Umbra we have that Chedeville inner shape but we changed the bore slightly which gives it a very free blowing feel and we altered the chamber to give it it’s darkness.
We manufacture the mouthpieces from beginning to end in our factory in Savannah Georgia using state of the art CNC machines and expert mouthpiece craftsmen and women on the crucial and indispensable hand work.
“I am so happy to play the Chedeville Umbra because it is so sweet, dark, so full of colors like when you listen to Pavarotti. You have absolutely all kind of harmonics, you don’t have to force or push, and the vibration of the reed, the mouthpiece, the material, it’s connected with my heart.”
Milan Rericha – International Soloist, co-founder RZ Clarinets
Our goal is simple – to make the greatest clarinet mouthpieces from the finest material possible for Classical musicians. The all new range of Chedeville mouthpieces is now available.
Since the acquisition of the famous Chedeville company, Jody Espina and his advisory team of experienced players and educators have been working around the clock to develop the new range of Chedeville mouthpieces. The Chedeville company was originally founded in Paris in the early 1920’s, crafting their mouthpieces from super-resonant premium rod rubber. Now under the leadership of Jody Espina, Chedeville mouthpieces are once again available using the original Chedeville rod rubber recipe, reformulated after years of painstaking historical research.
For over two years Jody had been developing Classical Clarinet mouthpieces and has now combined his designs with ‘Chedeville Rubber’, and certain aspects of the original Chedeville models. All the mouthpieces in the range made from this proprietary hard rubber bear the ‘CHR’ mark. If you don’t see the symbol CHR on the mouthpiece, it’s not made from genuine ‘Chedeville Rubber’. The new Chedeville Umbra, Elite and SAV series are now available, each offering distinctive sound and performance characteristics. Each of these models is available in a comprehensive selection of tip openings.
New Chedeville and Kaspar Clarinet Barrels are also now available, the first of several new Clarinet and Saxophone Accessory products that will be introduced.
We invite you to become a part of a bright new chapter in the storied history of this famous company.
