Klier Baritone Mouthpiece Exclusive BA 6DB-1 Harald Kobler

Josef Klier Signature Mouthpiece H. Kobler for Baritone!

JK Exclusive mouthpieces stand out with large tonal volume, pure tuning, easy response, and precisely calculated resistance in cup design and backbore, ensuring the player good endurance.

The personal sound concepts and wishes of a professional musician like Harald Kobler can only be fulfilled with the highest possible technical precision. That’s why Klier in Diespeck, Middle Franconia, uses computer-controlled CNC lathes to manufacture their JK mouthpieces. Only this production method allows the necessary series accuracy with tolerances in the micrometer range (thousandths of a millimeter) thanks to its high positioning precision.

Unique in the Mouthpiece Sector

The consistent embouchure and cup diameter of each series, as well as the exact and differentiated gradation, enable the musician to achieve any desired style without having to adjust their embouchure. A mouthpiece series with such precise and optimal craftsmanship cannot be found in any other mouthpiece offering.

The Conclusion of Professional Musician Harald Kobler

"In search of a mouthpiece manufacturer who combines quality, innovation, and humanity, I found Klier. Together, we developed a Harald Kobler Signature mouthpiece series for trombone, tenor horn, baritone, and valve trombone / bass trumpet. All mouthpieces have the rim contour 6-1, which greatly facilitates switching between different instruments or mouthpieces.

As a baritone player, I was always looking for a warm, dark, yet centered sound. The BA 6DB-1 H. Kobler combines my wishes for this mouthpiece through the slightly enlarged cup diameter and reinforced outer shape, which especially shines in sustained melodies."
