Description see picture table
The conical shells of the Exclusive Classic Tuba Line, which have been completely redeveloped from the ground up, are due to their large, balanced tone volume and excellent response behavior across all registers, not just a tonal extension of the existing Exclusive series with apple-shaped bowl shape.
The edge contours have been retained in the new Exclusive Classic, which makes it easy to switch between the two mouthpiece series.
JK Exclusive series
Many mouthpiece manufacturers work with model names that do not allow sufficient conclusions to be drawn about the cup diameter, cup depth and edge contour. Roland Klier recognized early on the disadvantages that this would create for the wind player looking for his mouthpiece.
In 1964, he designed the Exclusive Line, a logical and easy-to-understand designation system that uses the model number to identify all the relevant data for the wind player at a glance.
In addition, he developed a revolutionary concept in the combination of cup, bore and back bore, which enables the Klier mouthpieces to be used in any musical style.
The unusually large selection in the Exclusive line offers every wind player the opportunity to find their own personal mouthpiece. In addition, the edge contours of trumpet, cornet or flugelhorn mouthpieces are identical with the same cup diameter. This enables the blower to be changed quickly and easily.
The unique external shape of the Exclusive series is the result of numerous attempts to work out the optimum mouthpiece weight. It has established itself as a distinctive feature of the JK Exclusive series.
The Exclusive Export Line is an addition to the respective Exclusive series. The edges are identical to this in terms of diameter and edge shape, so that you can easily jump between the series.
In terms of sound, the export line is geared towards symphonic wind music and the classic brass band.
