Chedeville Kanter Cinema Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece - .042"

The Kanter Cinema: A Sublime Clarinet Mouthpiece

The Chedeville Kanter Cinema Bb clarinet mouthpiece is the fortuitous fruit of a collaboration between renowned mouthpiece guru Jody Espina and Hollywood studio musician James Kanter, whose astonishing four-plus decade career as a first-call session clarinetist has notched thousands of film and television score credits. Kanter — an accomplished mouthpiece designer in his own right — was mightily impressed with the mouthpiece blanks sent to him by Espina, their proprietary hard rubber compound being the finest mouthpiece material he’d ever found. And thus was the inspiration for the Chedeville Kanter Cinema. Jim Kanter calls it a “sublime” mouthpiece, and clarinetists agree.

Delivers an expansive tonal and expressive range

Studio musicians who work on film scores must have the ability to express a broad variety of musical moods. Designed with a tip opening and facing that sit right in the middle of the range, the Chedeville Kanter Cinema Bb clarinet mouthpiece sounds lusciously warm and has the expressive flexibility to handle a busy, genre-hopping recording and performance schedule. Indeed, Chedeville considers it the most versatile mouthpiece in their lineup. And of course, being a Chedeville product, the craftsmanship is impeccable. We would be remiss not to mention the striking visuals of this superb mouthpiece, enhanced by its unpainted engravings — an aesthetic choice made in order to achieve the subtle, understated look envisioned by Jim Kanter.

Chedeville mouthpieces: a century of expert craftsmanship

The Chedeville company was founded in Paris, France, by Charles Chedeville, whose family heritage represented a long line of musicians and instrument makers. He eventually started his own company, and by 1924, his products were competing head-to-head with other renowned French mouthpieces. Made from proprietary hard rubber, Chedeville mouthpieces produce uniquely rich tones that delight players and audiences all over. They are often considered the gold standard for sound quality and performance among clarinet and saxophone players. Now under the JodyJazz umbrella, Chedeville carries on its legacy and tradition of crafting superb mouthpieces and related music products.
