❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does A11S differ from A10S, A11LB, and A10L?
A11S is the small transparent 0.4 mm cushion. A10S is the small black 0.8 mm version (greater vibration absorption). A11LB is the large transparent 0.4 mm. A10L is the large black 0.8 mm. The Small size fits most standard clarinet and saxophone mouthpieces; Large is for the wider mouthpieces of bass clarinets and some saxophone models.
What is the difference between 0.4 mm and 0.8 mm?
The 0.4 mm cushion is thinner and barely noticeable under the teeth, with minimal impact on embouchure feel. The 0.8 mm version provides greater vibration absorption and more robust tooth-mark protection. Players sensitive to the feel of a cushion will find 0.4 mm the more comfortable choice.
Does the cushion leave glue residue?
No. The BG France A11S leaves no glue residue after removal — it is safe for mouthpieces made from ebonite, metal, or plastic.
What is a Venova and does this cushion fit it?
The Venova is a hybrid wind instrument by Yamaha that uses a standard soprano saxophone mouthpiece. The BG France A11S Small size is compatible with the Venova mouthpiece.
