Product Overview
- Characteristics - The 100GS is similar in size and playing characteristics to a Wick 6BL. The 100GS has an ID of 1.00 inches, a .270 (.686mm) throat. It can be compared to a Bach 5GS with a slightly smaller diameter, or to a Bach 6-1/2AL with a slightly deeper cup. The 100GS works equally well as a trombone or baritone mouthpiece.
- Delrin:
- Feels softer on the chops because it has more give than metal. This is a great advantage for players with braces.
- Not as slippery as silver, giving more grip.
- Added grip makes Delrin mouthpieces feel smaller than their metal counterparts with the same size designation.
- Not as smooth as metal, so some players may feel slight chop irritation for the first day or two while they adjust.
- More comfortable to play in cold weather because they feel warm on the chops.
- Plastic mouthpieces are more responsive than brass, making soft entries more secure.
- Articulation less crisp with less point at the front of the note compared to brass.
- Darker sound than brass.
- Less core in the sound compared to brass.
- Sounds darker than brass mouthpiece when used with a tone modifier.
