The Encore is ideal for the beginning player, though professional and advanced players will be amazed at how well it plays and sounds. The Encore is handfinished with a medium facinng. Hand reaming the bore ( a feature usually reserved only for professional mouthpieces) helps create outstanding consistency of tuning from mouthpiece to mouthpiece. The playing qualities of the Encore make it one of the music industry's most outstanding valuies.
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."
A private teacher from New York writes:
"My student got the mouthpiece he ordered from you last week. He brought it to our lesson. I tried it and I could not believe how great it played. Okay, sorry about the cliche, but it basically played itself. It left me wondering, if your student mouthpieces play this well, what the heck do your professional mouthpieces do, serve refreshments?"
