- Less slippery than silver, allowing more grip
- Added grip makes delrin mouthpieces feel smaller than their metal counterparts with identical size designation
- More comfortable to play in cold weather
- 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 with less core than brass
