Product Overview
This mouthpiece is in new condition. It is discounted because this model has been discontinued.
This mouthpiece has the standard #27 throat, which is the best option for most players.
Mouthpiece Specifications
- Inner Diameter: .65 inches measured at .04 inches into the cup.
- Cup Depth: This mouthpiece has a S (Shallow) cup, which is similar to a Schilke or Yamaha 14A4A, Warburton SV, Reeves S, Bach 3D, or GR S cup. It is an excellent mouthpiece for commercial lead and also for pit and pops. The Wedge rim produces a much better lower register than a comparable mouthpiece of this cup depth, so the low range sounds more like a Bach 3C then it does like a lead mouthpiece. This is also a mouthpiece for Piccolo trumpet if one prefers a shallow cup.
The 65S is an excellent lead mouthpiece for a player using a medium diameter and shallow cup. It is slightly deeper than the Schilke A cup or GR S cup and has a better low register. The S cup is very close to a GR MS cup.
3D Printing Technology
This 3D printed mouthpiece is the product of many months of research and development. It is made from an FDA certified safe biomedical photopolymer on a medical grade 3D printer. It does not slot or sound quite like our silver plated brass or Hybrid mouthpieces (it sounds a bit darker), but plays great and will give you a clear idea of what the Wedge design can do for your comfort, range and endurance.
Plastic mouthpieces are an excellent choice for players with metal allergies, and who need to play in the cold. This material is stronger than acrylic, but the shank can still crack if the mouthpiece is dropped on a hard surface.
Add a Sound Booster
A sound booster is highly recommended for these mouthpieces. The added mass of the sound booster improves slotting, provides more secure attacks, and adds core to the sound. The sound booster cost is $50 and works very well on our silver plated brass and Hybrid mouthpieces. It can be returned for a refund.
