Aggressive mouthpieces

[cunnie]

Hello to the forum users.
I'm searching for recommendations on aggressive clarinet mouthpieces. By aggressive I mean ones producing a jazz, sax-like, possibly plastic/metallic sound (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL-pSq6kInY) as opposed to the mellow woody sound of the classical clarinet.
The quality of the tone doesn't have to be so good as I'm searching for a dirty type of sound. However it has to be of low price.
Any recommendation is appreciated a lot.
Thank you!

Respectfully, while I'm about as open-minded as one can be, concerning artistic expression, and love (and play) jazz, that was excruciating.  I can literally see the saliva dripping from the bell.

If I were you, I would contact Peter and ask him what MP and reed he is using.  I'd be surprised if you received an answer, but it's worth a shot.

I suspect a very soft, fluttery reed, and a wide open, non-baffled chamber and a tip opening above .122.  Part of this sound is caused by amplified distortion, and of course-- "technique".

They actually do make metal clarinet mouthpieces.

I got one before and the tip was super open. Not for me but I guess it would work for some people.

Thank you both for the suggestions.
Dave - can you describe what that mouthpiece sounds like? I stumbled upon that one but have no idea how it sounds.
Still open to more suggestions.

It’s been quite a while but I think I remember that being pretty resistive, and then with an explosion once you got past it. Sort of like how a balloon resists until you overcome that initial resistance.
It was quite loud and a bit too hard to control for me, but that may have just been due to the wide open tip that I wasn’t used to.
Here’s something else you may try:

cunnie, Go back to the youtube video that you link to and read the comment that says "But not is a Clarinet, is a tarogato."

A tarogato is more like a soprano sax than a clarinet. The bore is fully conical (a clarinet is cylindrical except near the bottom). THAT is why it sounds sax-like. You won't emulate that with any clarinet because the harmonic structure of the sound is completely different.

[DaveLeBlanc]

Good catch, Windy. I didn't even notice that but now that you mention it, it's pretty obvious.

You can put a metal mouthpiece with that little "jazz" insert onto a clarinet but like you said, nothing will really overcome the physical limitations of a conical bore.

@cunnie, if you're looking for a jazzy sound, a metal clarinet is a decent first step, as it provides a bit of metallic tone. Put a wide open mouthpiece with a the insert and you might get something close to what you're looking for.
