JODYJAZZ KANTER OPERA BB CLARINET MOUTHPIECE Chedeville has introduced its new Chedeville Kanter Opera Bb Clarinet mouthpiece designed in collaboration with Jim Kanter. This is the second mouthpiece collaboration with the legendary Hollywood studio musician and famed mouthpiece maker. Building on the success of the Chedev- ille Kanter Cinema model, the new Kanter Opera model features a larger tip opening and is designed for players seeking greater warmth and tonal breadth. 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. {jodyjazz.com}
HAL LEONARD HYBRID EDITIONS
Hal Leonard has released Hybrid Editions for concert band. At first glance, Hybrid Edi- tions look like a standard printed score, but each one includes a unique access code to all parts digitally (as PDFs) via MyLibrary.com. This allows directors to print as many copies as needed for their ensemble, download parts for digital viewing on tablets or computers and keep a secure backup for future use. With Hal Leonard Hybrid Editions, directors get the best of both worlds: the professional quality of a printed score and the convenience of un- limited digital access. These editions are ideal for: unbalanced sections that need additional parts; middle school musicians who frequently lose or damage their music; and long-term use without worrying about preserving original parts; The first Hybrid Editions are available now as part of Hal Leonard’s popular Discovery Plus Concert Band series (grade 2): “Barbie Girl,” “Taylor Swift Eras” and “Highlights from How to Train Your Dragon.” {halleonard.com}
