Encore clarinet mouthpieces were introduced in 1983 and quickly became a favorite of music educators for their quality, consistence and price.
 
Encore mouthpieces are, indeed, ideal for beginning player, though professional and advanced players are often amazed at how well they play and sound. Both Encore Bb soprano and Bb Bass mouthpieces are hand finished with a medium facing. The playing qualities of the Encore make it one of the music industry's most outstanding values.
 
Here's what a few of hundreds of Encore customers have to say:
A band director and clarinetist from Southern California writes:
"I feel the Encore is the best student clarinet mouthpiece on the market today at any price. However, the price is so attractive I have very little trouble convincing students and parents alike to invest in the upgrade. It has made an incredible improvement in the pitch, focus and blend of our section regardless of what brand of instrument students are playing so long as they are free of leaks and properly adjusted."
