Internationally Acclaimed Clarinetist Rocco Parisi Joins Chedeville; Inspires New Elite Bass Clarinet F00 Model

 Chedeville, one of the world’s premier makers of handcrafted clarinet mouthpieces, is proud to announce that internationally renowned clarinetist Rocco Parisi has joined the Chedeville artist family. Widely celebrated as one of the world’s leading interpreters of contemporary music and a pioneering force in extended techniques for the bass clarinet, Parisi brings his extraordinary artistry and innovation to Chedeville.

In collaboration with Parisi, Chedeville has developed a new addition to its acclaimed Elite Bass Clarinet series: the Chedeville Elite Bass Clarinet F00 model. This new mouthpiece reflects Rocco’s personal preferences for enhanced flexibility, intonation, and tonal control. With a tip opening of 1.60mm (the smallest in the Elite Bass series to date), the F00 model offers unparalleled responsiveness and precision for the discerning performer. 

Rocco Parisi has inspired numerous composers to write original compositions for bass clarinet for him and recently performed “Come un’onda” for bass clarinet dedicated to him by the legendary composer Ennio Morricone for a live concert recording. His commitment to musical expression and technical excellence makes him a perfect fit for the Chedeville ethos of craftsmanship and innovation. 

“I love the easy response, the clarity of sound, the intonation, the richness of tone, the projection of the sound, the variety of colors and the versatility; my Chedeville mouthpiece allows me to express myself freely in any style of music! I am very proud to join the Chedeville family,” said Rocco Parisi. –

The new Chedeville Elite Bass Clarinet F00 is designed and produced entirely in the Chedeville factory in Savannah, Georgia, utilizing state-of-the-art CNC technology and perfected by skilled artisans through meticulous hand-finishing.
