Vandoren Launches the JUNO J5 Bb Clarinet Mouthpiece

Vandoren are pleased to announce the launch of the new Vandoren JUNO J5 Clarinet Bb Mouthpiece, designed specifically for students and beginners during the first years of clarinet study.

The JUNO J5 is the most affordable mouthpiece in the Vandoren range, delivering genuine Vandoren quality at an entry-level price. Designed with beginners in mind, it provides an easy, natural response and produces a round, centred, and homogeneous sound that remains stable across the full range of the instrument, including the upper register, supporting new players as they build confidence and develop a healthy, disciplined embouchure from their very first notes.

Made in France, it meets the same standards of precision, craftsmanship, and safety as all Vandoren products. Crafted from food-contact-certified synthetic material and compliant with the EN 71-3 toy safety standard.

Designed with durability and practicality in mind, the traditional cork has been replaced by two silicone food-grade O-rings, providing a reliable seal and simplified maintenance. Its synthetic construction also allows safe storage directly in the instrument case without impact to the instrument, making it particularly well suited to schools.

With a tip opening of 100 (closed) and a medium facing length, the JUNO J5 pairs ideally with JUNO Bb clarinet reeds strength 2–3 and Vandoren Traditional reeds strength 2–2½.

Key benefits include:
• Easy to play and highly accessible
• Round, centred, and homogeneous sound
• Secure and stable feel, even in high notes
• Low maintenance and durable design
• Vandoren quality at an entry-level price

With an SRP of £38.95, the Vandoren JUNO J5 Clarinet Bb Mouthpiece is available to order now through UK and Ireland distributors Barnes & Mullins Ltd at www.bandm.co.uk.
