Description
For sale is a vintage Riffault N4 Bb clarinet mouthpiece in excellent condition. Freshly refaced, ready for your next gig!Due to their excellent
rod rubber
and internal dimensions, Riffault mouthpieces can rival to any expensive vintage mouthpiece out there.
This great blank was often used by legendary makers like Kanter and Pyne!
I refaced this mouthpiece to a
1.01 tip
with a
33 (Brand scale) facing length
. The baffle needed only a slight cleanup to optimize response and tonal color, the baffle contour is one of the nicest I have ever seen. It responds well with 3 - 3.5 reeds, especially Vandoren blue box 3, Rue Lepic 3 & 3.5 and Arundos 3+. Other brands should be fine too in this ballpark.
The sound is focused and sweet like the ideal of the classic French school of the last century. But also has the power required today! The altissimo speaks easily, articulation is fast and clean. There is no damage to the mouthpiece, but maybe you want to replace the cork after 1 - 2 years of playing.
Marked with 'FRANCE' and 'N4'.
Before shipping, I treat the mouthpiece with neutral soap and clean with lukewarm water. I ship worldwide with priority mail and always provide tracking number. If you have any questions, please ask before bidding. In case of multiple purchase, I'm happy to combine shipping to reduce the shipping cost. Please take a look at my other listings!

Recent feedback about my mouthpiece work:

I ordered a vintage crystal clarinet mouthpiece that the seller re-faced by hand. In a symphony orchestra, I've been playing 66 years. Finally, I have a crystal mouthpiece that I truly love. It plays beautifully - smooth between all registers and easy to play the upper register in tune. You will NOT be disappointed doing business with this up and coming mouthpiece Artisan. The packing was excellent. Fair price and great service.
