The SAV bass clarinet mouthpieces combine the best qualities of Chedeville’s other top-of-the-line models into an affordable package that’s perfect for serious students and professionals alike. It inherits the dark warmth of the Umbra and melds it with the free-blowing clarity of the Elite. The result is a beautiful tone that’s rich in harmonic colors while providing enough ping to clearly resonate in any concert hall. However, rather than using proprietary Chedeville rubber, the SAV is made from the same German rod rubber as other JodyJazz mouthpieces. This passes on significant savings to the customer, offering a high-end mouthpiece that’s accessible to players. Each one is hand finished and play tested by experts in Savannah, Georgia, ensuring a consistent, polished sound and feel. Pick up your Chedeville SAV Clarinet Mouthpiece from Sweetwater and experience the perfect balance of warmth and clarity.

Chedeville mouthpieces: a century of expert craftsmanship





The Chedeville company was founded in Paris, France, by Charles Chedeville, whose family heritage represented a long line of musicians and instrument makers. He eventually started his own company, and by 1924, his products were competing head-to-head with other renowned French mouthpieces. Made from proprietary hard rubber, Chedeville mouthpieces produce uniquely rich tones that delight players and audiences all over. They are often considered the gold standard for sound quality and performance among clarinet and saxophone players. Now under the JodyJazz umbrella, Chedeville carries on its legacy and tradition of crafting superb mouthpieces and related music products. Join the legions of players everywhere ? including Sweetwater saxophonists and clarinetists ? and experience the power, art, and beauty of Chedeville!
