Chedeville has announced the introduction of the new Chedeville Kanter ‘Opera’ Bb Clarinet mouthpiece designed in collaboration with Jim Kanter. This is their second mouthpiece collaboration with the legendary Hollywood studio musician and famed mouthpiece maker. Building on the tremendous success of the Chedeville Kanter ‘Cinema’ model, the new Kanter ‘Opera’ model features a larger tip opening and is designed for players seeking greater warmth and tonal breadth. 

“Jim Kanter always challenges us to be the best that we can be,” said Jody Espina owner of JodyJazz/Chedeville/Rousseau. “In order to meet Jim’s exacting standards, we needed to engineer a new and proprietary tool to replicate his unique filing process. This was the sole method by which we could guarantee that each Kanter Opera mouthpiece would conform to his stringent specifications.

“Clarinetists who will love this mouthpiece run the full gamut,” said Jim Kanter. “It’s perfect for orchestra players worldwide looking for the depth and warmth without sacrificing the ability to project in large acoustic settings. That said, mouthpieces with these qualities are also very popular with chamber players and soloists playing in more intimate acoustic and musical environments. In other words, it will be very highly sought-after in today’s clarinet world.” 

The Chedeville Kanter ‘Opera’ model is the most open facing of the two Chedeville Kanter models, delivering a rich sound with added depth and flexibility across all registers. It provides a responsive feel with a natural sense of resistance, allowing for expressive nuance and dynamic control. This mouthpiece rewards focused air 

support and musical intention, making it an exceptional choice for players across a variety of musical genres. 

Asked to describe the new Kanter ‘Opera’ model, Jim said, “Buttery warmth, point and flexibility. It has everything.” 

The new Chedeville Kanter Series Clarinet mouthpieces are individually crafted at the JodyJazz factory in Savannah, Georgia. The company starts with its proprietary CHR hard rubber and then precision manufactures the mouthpieces using state of the art CNC machines. Finally, the crucial and indispensable hand work is performed by expert mouthpiece craftsmen and craftswomen. 

In order to achieve Jim Kanter’s vision of a more subtle and understated look, the engravings on the mouthpieces have been left unpainted. The new Chedeville Kanter Opera Clarinet mouthpiece has an MSRP of $350.00 and is available now.
