How confident are we that you will love the Wedge mouthpiece? Pretty confident! It's because we know that 85-90% of players who try a Wedge keep it.
And if you are in the 10-15% of players who do not benefit from the Wedge design, you can send it back for a full refund within 90 days.
Our return and exchange policy is only available to customers who purchase their mouthpiece directly from us. Mouthpieces purchased from a dealer or private sale are not covered in this policy.

Taking care of your mouthpiece
For us to offer such a generous return policy we do ask you to take good care of any mouthpiece you might want to return.
IN ORDER TO AVOID SCRATCHING THE SILVER DO NOT:
- Place the mouthpiece on the shelf of your music stand.
- Place the mouthpiece directly on any hard surface such as wood, metal, the floor, a shelf, or a counter top.
- Set the mouthpiece down beside another mouthpiece or any hard object so that they could make contact.
- Allow the mouthpiece to rattle around in your case.
- Screw it hard or twist it in the receiver of your instrument.
Ideal Care:
- The mouthpiece should either be in your horn, or in the cloth bag in which it was shipped at all times.
- If you set the mouthpiece down it MUST be on a soft cloth surface, otherwise it will very likely be damaged.
Following the above instructions is the best way to keep your mouthpiece in good condition.
Email admin@wedgemouthpiece.com for return instructions, prior to sending your order back. Please do not send back your mouthpiece without a proper instructions.
