Title: Best metal alternative!

These hybrid mouthpieces are the best metal alternative in the business (and I’ve tried it all). Totally resolves my metal allergy while preserving the great density/core to the sound and projection of a metal mouthpiece. Also fantastic for outdoor gigs!- TG

Title: May Take A Bit to Adjust But Worth It

Initially, I didn’t notice much of a difference in terms of how the mouthpiece felt. I then experienced a bit of endurance decline. With a couple gigs right around the corner, I went back to my Schilke and my endurance came back. Once I was past the heavy gig schedule, I tried the Wedge again and noticed immediate improvements in endurance and range. I remained on the Wedge since then. I don’t know why the initial conversion was not successful, but the second time around was highly successful and I would recommend the Wedge to others. -Charles G.

Title: 66 MV Hybrid top

I'm in an experimental phase where I'm trying out different types of Wedge. Hybrid feels warm on the lips, and it's nice to play on, but now I've come to the conclusion that with silver is better and gold over silver is even better. I've always played on 1 1/4 Bach until I tried out Wedge. Now I haven't found “the holy grail”. But currently I'm playing Wedge and some of my purchases are really good! 👏?😊 -Otto S.

67MDV Hybrid Trumpet Top

5 star review

Title: A revalation

I already have a couple of metal wedge mouthpieces and was skeptical of the hybrid tops. Not anymore! The grippiness of the material helps keep things in place when I get tired. I bought this size because I tend to gravitate towards the 1 or 1.5c Bach mouthpieces but because of how great the hybrid material is I could probably go up to the 68MDV without losing much range or endurance. Before I bought this top I was bouncing between 3 different mouthpieces and now those have all been put away. I am sold on the hybrid tops and wont get anything else from here on out. I use it with the stainless backbore and the sound enhancer (which is another great thing that seriously works well). -Jeff G.

Title: How wonderful MPC!!!

Once you get used to the Wedge System mouthpiece, you might stop searching for others. I've tried over 100 types of mouthpieces, but nothing compares to this one. Of course, I understand that everyone is different, and some may not find it suitable. It’s true that getting accustomed to this system takes time, but I’m confident that it's a great choice when you consider its benefits. Dr. Dave is very friendly and highly knowledgeable in this field. His responses are always quick and precise. I strongly recommend consulting with Dr. Dave regarding sizing and other concerns. I’m very satisfied with the 66MV + Pickett Backbore 10-3 (#27), which I received in just one month from Asia. However, I’ll continue using the GR65R + TT Backbore (#27) for pieces that require a lot of high notes. -Junho K.

67RT Hybrid Trumpet Top

5 star review

Title: Excellent

I purchased this hybrid 67RT top and attached a tight backbore. (A larger top with a tight backbore is what works for me) This combination produces a wonderful warm tone and felt completely comfortable from the first time I played it. Endurance and range has not suffered at all with its larger size. I am playing this on my Carol Brass Andrea Giuffredi Bb trumpet and absolutely love the sound. I highly recommend this hybrid mouthpiece top if you tend to use a larger sized cup. -Jack S.

Title: Great Communication

Many of these products are produced in response to your order. Dave’s company was great about providing frequent updates through the process from production through shipping. My mouthpiece cup was crafted with care and fit perfectly with my existing backbone by another maker. The cup size was accurately compared to other common mouthpiece makes. So when my new cup arrived the size felt just like my old one by another maker. I’m very happy with the purchase. -Charles G.

5 star review

Title: Woaw...

The first impression was "Woaw", but as often, with a new mouthpiece. It has a lot of quality, so I persevered and now, after more than a month, I am really very happy with this elbouchure... facilitated throughout the register, clear and precise detachment and above all, better endurance. My lip muscles have changed, gaining volume on the sides, where my old mouthpiece exerted pressure. the only negative point... my lips no longer find room on my small "normal" piccolo mouthpiece... I will directly order a Wedge 64 or 65LV version. In any case, it's a great discovery.-Fabrice K.

Title: Fat Orchestral Sound

I am retired, and recently came back to trumpet a few years back. I have been working towards getting a bigger mouthpiece that will provide the sound I need to play in an orchestra. And, this mouthpiece has been great. While it is more work than the 66MDV I get the sound I want, and I still have the endurance for extended passages. But, as expected, it is more work that the 66MV that I also own. Also, I ordered several mouthpieces at reduced rates due to "blemishes", and I can say the blemishes were very minor and have had no effect on the playing of the mouthpieces. I have been playing Wedge mouthpieces for about 6 years, and I have really enjoyed using them. Thanks again for some great mouthpieces. Kevin -Kevin L.

Title: Ingram 64MS Hybrid Top

This top has been an excellent fit for me! It instantly felt comfortable. I’ve enjoyed 2 other Harrison tops/mouthpieces - 63S Hybrid one-piece and 63M brass top. The hybrid top feels great on my chops. Considering its relatively narrow inner diameter, I feel like I have plenty of room because of the shape of the cup. I ordered my 64MS with the 5% angled cup. I’ve preferred the angled cup to the bent backbores other manufacturers offer. Thanks for a great mouthpiece! -Ryan S.

Title: 第N次購買了，依舊一樣舒服

 

在眼花撩亂的吹嘴市場，最後總是把錢花在這裡！ 我從665mdv換到小一點的尺寸 網購吹嘴中，wedge是眾多品牌最常吹的，很多品牌，買來吹一次就擺著再也沒機會吹，它就是有這個魅力。 有些朋友對wedge rim 設計剛開始很不習慣，請給它多一點時間，你會得到更多的。

-Patrick

Title: I bought it for the Nth time, and it is still as comfortable

 

In the dazzling mouthpiece market, this is where you always end up spending your money! I changed from 665mdv to a smaller size. Among the mouthpieces purchased online, wedge is the most commonly used brand. For many brands, you buy one and then put it aside and never have the chance to play it again. This is the charm of wedge. Some friends are not used to the wedge rim design at first, please give it more time and you will get more out of it. -Patrick

Title: First Wedge Mouthpiece

This is my first experience with Wedge mouthpiece and I purchased the discounted 63M cup and a hybrid 63S 1-piece. I've been playing on a Warburton 7MW for the past year. The 63M and 63S have the inner diameter of the Warburton 7M. I found myself bottoming out on the 63S initially. The 63M is significantly deeper than the Warburton 7M and the 63S seems a little shallower than the 7M. The hybrid cup is so comfortable! After several weeks of acclimating, I used the 63S in a big band rehearsal last night. Great mouthpiece! -Ryan S.

I am playing for long time exclusively on Wedge mouthpieces! A few months ago I contacted Dr. Dave because I never took care to find the right mouthpiece for the piccolo trumpet. After some mail exchanges the new custom mouthpiece was created. I got it recently and from the first notes was clear that Dr. Dave understand very well what I need and what i want. Everything works very naturally with the Wedge mouthpiece! Thank you very much!!! Sava S.

The hybrid is so much different from my old one. I'm just a simple amateur, but already after a few weeks use I feel gradually a better control in the higher register. The "warm" feeling is a positive contrast to the old standard Wedge. Most of all; I am inspired to practice every day! -Per J.K.

5 star review

Title: Such a versatile piece!

I am very happy with my 65MV hybrid. I am primarily a jazz player, and was looking for a more refined sound for brass quintet work. My beloved 65LV, bold and brassy, is a little out of character in the gentler quintet setting, with its breathy low notes. The slightly deeper cup of the 65MV gives me a full tone in the lower register, as well as more precise tonguing. I have also found it to be an excellent choice for our jazz combo (with a singer), where I need a mellow sound. My range remains the same, tho the high notes above C are smaller and quieter, as expected. The hybrid rim is instantly comfortable, and the Wedge design continues to grant me excellent endurance (very important for a senior player!). I heartily recommend the Wedge to everyone. I suggest that they order the equivalent of their current favorite mouthpiece, and enjoy the comfort of the Wedge design! -Jim B.

Title: Perfect Balance of Sound, Comfort, and Control

I recently purchased the Wedge Chuck Findley 66MV trumpet mouthpiece and I am extremely satisfied with it. The sound quality is outstanding—rich, clear, and vibrant across all registers. It offers exceptional comfort, making long playing sessions much easier on my lips. I also feel very secure when hitting notes; the mouthpiece provides great control and stability. Most importantly, the tone remains consistent no matter the pitch, which really helps maintain a great sound throughout my performance. Highly recommended for any serious trumpet player! -FREDERIC B.

Title: Pleasantly surprisedI must confess that several months ago I bought a mouthpiece from another maker while awaiting the Wedge mouthpiece to be shipped. The delay in shipping was at my own request as I was traveling. I was very set on the new mouthpiece (similar size, cup, and throat) and was prepared to ship the Wedge back, package unopened, upon receiving it last week. In fairness to the folks at Wedge, I decided to try the mouthpiece before returning it. My immediate impressions: 1. A fuller sound 2. A more free blow Needless to say, I am keeping the Wedge and plan to use it in a concert less than two weeks from the time I received the mouthpiece.-Vern C.

Title: The right choice for me.

No more air leakage at the corner of my mouth. The curved shape makes it easier to play in the upper register. I instinctively apply less pressure, since too much pressure kills the tone with this mouthpiece. I find the tone a bit brighter, which works well in the big band. The intonation is different compared to my old Monette, but I think you get used to it pretty quickly. Highly recommended. -Bo L.

Title: Chuck Finley 66S, Hybrid mouthpiece with the tone enhancer and 25 throat

Hi Dave: I greatly appreciated your time spent with me in analyzing my trumpet mouthpiece needs as it pertained to my own professional performing current needs. I have been performing on the trumpet for 68 years and I have tried MANY mouthpieces during the course of my performance career. Although, some of them met my needs they did not provide all of the positive characteristics as out lined in your newer mouthpieces. I had purchased a wedge metal mouthpiece several years ago. However, my recent purchase of the Chuck Finley 66S Hybrid with the tone enhancer and 25 throat added comfort, range and endurance along with a more focused tone to my ongoing professional performances at my ongoing shows. I found them extremely delightful in fulfilling my musical trumpet playing needs. Again many thanks for your personal telephone conversation and in assisting in my choice of the above detailed mouthpiece. -Howard S.

Title: Loving my new Wedge

I received my MV65 Hybrid and practiced for 90 minutes today without fatigue. I’m a 72 year old retread and I believe this wedge mouthpiece has already made a difference for me. It did take maybe 10 minutes to adjust to the rim. I suspect I will need additional adjustment time for the next few sessions until muscle memory realigns. I love that I no longer have that cold, hard metal contact. And there is not any discernible diminishing of projection as compared to an ACB MV3cs that I had been using. Obviously there is more to experience and I have since had several 2-hour concert band rehearsals with east range and great endurance. Additionally, after playing there was no residual impression on my chops, no soreness and I actually feel improved blood flow. Gratitude to Dave for recommending the right mouthpiece for my needs! -David D.

I have the 10 degree angle...it has worked very well to help me get my bell up and still see my music (overbite)...with no negative impact to my sound. -Lucia G.

Title: A great company to deal with

My overall experience in trying out a Wedge 66MDV trumpet mouthpiece was excellent, starting with the initial consultation with Dr Dave. I ordered the model Dave recommended for me, and the ordering process was simple and straightforward. I ordered just before Christmas and the mouthpiece needed to be made to order, sent out for plating, and shipped to the UK, so understandably took a few weeks, but communication was excellent and status updates were provided at each stage. The mouthpiece arrived well packaged, and was made and finished to a high standard. The generous 90 day return policy allowed me to test it extensively at home and in orchestral rehearsals. Every player is different, and ultimately I don’t think the Wedge gave me what I was looking for, and after emailing Dave to describe my experience he immediately suggested that I might be better off with a conventional rim, and that I should return it for a refund. Micaela always replied quickly to my emails and processed a full refund as soon as she received the mouthpiece. Although the Wedge mouthpiece was not for me in the end, I'm pleased to have been able to try it, they are a great company to deal with, and their generous return policy Is everything they claim. I highly recommend the company, and would like to thank Dave and Micaela for their excellent customer service. -Simon R.

I knew that this mouthpiece would work for me when I played my first note . It’s very comfortable and easy to set . I like the feel of the hybrid material compared to the cold metal . I thought that having something other than traditional metal would negatively affect the sound , but it’s quite the opposite . The sound is bright and is so much easier to get a rich , bright sound than my Bach 3C . My range is gradually improving as well. My tendency is always to apply too much pressure in the upper register , but with my hybrid , I find that I’m backing off more . I enjoy practicing more and while still have a ways to go as a comeback player , my new hybrid will definitely help me achieve my goals . Thanks Dave for your help .-Thomas L.

Title: Wedge 66MV: Game changer

!I’m a comeback trumpet player. I from 4th through 12th grades. In the past 40 years, I would pick a horn every now and then. About 2 years ago, I got much more serious about playing, and a seemingly never ending search for the right mouthpiece. Not sure how much I spent on different pieces, but I wouldn’t want the Missus to know! When I was in school, the only mouthpiece I about was the Bach 7C - and it was never the right one for me by the time I was in high school. Anyway, about 4 months ago, I got a Wedge 66MV. Immediately upon trying it, I was able to play like I’ve never could before. IMMEDIATELY I was, effortlessly, reaching notes I’ve always struggled to play. IMMEDIATELY I was, easily, playing at least 5 notes higher. What really impressed me was how much easier it was to hit notes below that staff, coming from the higher notes. This is something that gave me a lot of issues in my return journey. It’s so comfortable, and such a joy to play, I don’t want to put my horn down! I never feel the urge to press the mouthpiece into my lips hit the higher notes. This carries over to when I use other mouthpieces also. Anyone worried about the Wedges messing up your embouchure, please don’t. I think it will really help anyone’s. Thanks for a great bit of kit, Dr. Dave! -Donald D.

Title: Unbelievable: trumpet mouthpice 665MV

Today, I received the new trumpet mouthpiece (665 MV) I ordered. It's great! I have been playing a Schilke 14B4 trumpet mouthpiece for over 35 years and a Schilke 14F4 on flugelhorn.   By chance I came across a used Wedge 665 MV /25. With it I finally sound like I always have wanted to, very full and brilliant. The pitch has also widened and I can play much more relaxed and for significantly longer. Unbelievable! I was so excited that I ordered a 665 FLC (flugelhorn mouthiece) online from you that same day. The improvement with the flugelhorn is just as good as with the tumpet, though the sound of the flugelhorn of course is very full, rich and warm. For me the change was absolutely worth it. Now, I have a second trumpet mouthpiece, this one with a boster. Great! Thank you very much and best regards! -Rob

Title: A great product that I have been able to review over the years.

I was one of Dave’s first clients able to try out his prototypes, which were simply cut down existing trumpet mouthpieces. After having a career-ending accident, followed by many years of not being able to play at all, Dave was kind enough to send me one of his finished products ,after many years of research and design. The improvement in what he’s done over the years is remarkable, and for the first time since my accident, I think it may be possible for me to enjoy a bit of playing again. Bravo, Dave! You may turn out to be a godsend for injured brass players, in addition to helping uninjured players play with more endurance and less stress on their office. -Roger Z.

Title: Delrin 65S

I ordered this mp after several emails and a phone call to Dr Dave. Have been practicing past 2.5 years with the Chuck Findley 66MV which to me is a very comfortable mp on lips. The Delrin 65S with sound booster is the second mp I have ordered from Dr Dave. I needed to try to improve my range and endurance even more. The Delrin shipped immediately after order and of course took several days to receive in US from Canada. I have only been practicing on it for about a week, so it will take some time to adjust to. I also purchased this because I think I have developed a sensitivity in my lips to silver plate. Thus far very happy with purchase. I’m able to play from low G flat to E above staff, but have much work to do to play upper register performance. Dr Dave is very committed to getting you the “right mp”. No pressure at all from him, and very easy to work with him on mp selection. I look forward to continuing practice on the Delrin and further follow up with Dr Dave! -Paul

Title: Incredible mouthpiece

If you are used to the feel of a Bach 3C mouthpiece but want an upgrade, this mouthpiece feels incredibly similar to one. I am incredibly pleased with the performance of this mouthpiece and its ability to elevate my playing style. With the demand personally of a youth orchestra, volume and projection become much, much easier to achieve. The feel at first is only a little weird, but after a couple of minutes you will get very used to it. The only issue I have with the head is that the silver plating began as soon as I got it, to come off. I have no complaint about the performance. Personally if volume is what you are looking for, I recommending even throwing a larger throat and sound upgrade. It has never felt easier to play. I recommend this to the 100, 1000%. -Mason D.

Title: Pierobon Lead 2 One Piece - Excellent Mouthpiece

This is an excellent mouthpiece; well made, very comfortable rim and a full sound. It has improved my range and articulation, and has allowed me to generate a nice, even vibrato instead of using the "rocking horn" method. I first ordered it with the 27 throat which I liked, but I prefer little resistance, so I ordered a number of them with the 25 throat; the larger throat lowered the resistance and produced an even bigger sound. I am using this mouthpiece with the sound booster; the mouthpiece is great with or without it, but the booster seems to make it more responsive. Now this is the only mouthpiece I use. -Wally

Title: How wonderful MPC!!!

I have been primarily using a Wedge mouthpiece (MPC) for a long time. It is a MPC with many advantages, and I personally felt it as follows. 1. In a manner of speaking, the lips feel less strained (when there’s no choice but to adjust the instrument, even slight adjustments can make a difference). 2. In my case, when I play high notes, the instrument tilts upward slightly, and when I play low notes, it tilts downward a bit (high notes = upward airflow). In a positive sense, this movement has become less pronounced (but you could also say the instrument has become more responsive). 3. Related to point 1 – Once you get used to it, you’ll be able to play steadily for much longer than before (without developing bad habits). I hope you find my review helpful. -J.Kay

Title: 66MV Hybrid Mouthpiece

I tried the hybrid 66MV trumpet mouthpiece for several days and enjoyed the easy response and free flowing nature of the mouthpiece. It is a keeper for trumpet players who prefer a more closed sounding mouthpiece with great slotting and control. Easily a top notch mouthpiece for the majority! However, I am used to a more open and wider sounding mouthpieces which I use for trumpet and trombone. I play a #23 Monette so the #27 66MV felt stiff for me! I realized that my conventional Bach 3C was easier to blow through; so I checked for similarities and differences between the hybrid and Bach 3C. For me, the Bach 3C configuration was deeper and easier to control . Yet, in the end, the comfort of the hybrid mouthpiece is a major plus for any player! In the end, I traded it for another mouthpiece with more open slotting and wider sound stage. I opted for a Chuck Findley Hybrid Jazz mouthpiece. #25 -Nick G

Such a difference. The hybrid feels straight away like a warmed up mouthpiece which should help a lot for a warmer sound from the beginning.

Pierobon Lead 2 One Piece 

5 star review

Title: Excellent, comfortable mouthpiece

I originally tried one of Dr. Dave's 63ES mouthpieces, since it was the same size I was used to playing on. I did like it, but preferred a more cushioned rim with a softer bite. I scheduled a phone call with Dr. Dave and with his guidance, decided to try the Pierobon Lead 2. This mouthpiece was exactly what I was looking for; it was about the same size diameter as what I was used to, with the added benefit of the oval-shaped rim. My range increased a little while keeping my sound full, and the rim is very comfortable. One of the major improvements I experienced was overall better control of each note, including being able to produce a nice, even vibrato, which wasn't possible for me to do with my chops on mouthpieces with more conventional rims. I purchased it with a sound booster and used it with and without the booster; the sound and control were excellent both ways, but I liked the feel of the mouthpiece better with the booster - not sure why, it just felt better to me. This is an excellent mouthpiece and worth a try to see if it works for you if you are looking for a small mouthpiece with a very comfortable, cushioned rim. -Scotty

Title: 65ES Mouthpiece Review

Going to a shallow mp is different, and I am treating it as if I was 'relearning' some aspects of my playing. Additionally, I am almost at the completion of a few years of 'Invisalign', so it is almost like "new mouthpiece, new embuchure-let's work together. Of course I love the feel of the rim, and really how liberating it is. I am working on getting better control of the upper register, and getting my buzz clean up there. I can buzz on the mp alone to infinity, unlike any other mp I have had, so I think I'm making progress. I'm doing Carmine Caruso's 12 note-buzz exercises to focus on the consistency of the buzz. Overall, I really like it, don't seem to be closing it off, but am still experimenting with lip and tongue placement. -FRITZ W.

Title: Backup mouthpiece

Since downsizing from a 67 to a 65 diameter I've been extremely satisfied with the results. I undertook this move because of age (I'll be 70 soon), and it's the best equipment change I've made in years. I highly recommend downsizing if one notices a natural loss of embouchure strength. My high E's and F's are coming back with the MDV cup and I'm once again able to practise consistently with about one day of complete rest per week. With my 65S I've even started doing some lead playing again, and I attribute this to the newfound strength I've gained with the 65MDV. If any of you older players need to make a similar change, do it! There's no shame or inferiority to be felt, and you'll be very happy with the results! Maybe one needs to reduce just one size to the adjacent smaller number as my choice was, of course, very personal and subjective. I'm 100% sure that I've significantly extended my performing career. -Michael A.

Title: Wasn't sure what to expect...but love the results!!
I initially got a Wedge that was sized too small and I wasn't sure if the result would ever actually pay off, but I exchanged for a bigger size and wow. I love the feel and confidence it gives me. I have always fought with the trumpet as a top lip over bottom lip player, and this seems to give me a bit more control and power. Definitely worth a go if you're looking for a fresh approach and something comfortable to play on. I ended up with a 66MDV -Aaron K P.

Title: Outstanding design.

I am impressed with the quality of design, manufacture and customer service offered by Harrison Mouthpieces. The innovative concept works far better for me than any other design I have used. Sound is clean, clear with predictable transitions between registers and at all volume levels. The MDV cup works well throughout the entire range, making it ideal for ensemble playing where full sound and volume is required. I use the MV cup for more delicate work especially in the upper register. I also use a Wedge Flugelhorn mouthpiece with similar results to the trumpet mouthpieces - clean sound, predictable slotting, great range and transitions throughout. Great customer contact and service, beautiful finish to the products and reassuring follow-up when appropriate. Thank you!!! -James M.

So far, I like this mouthpiece a lot. It looks well made – even the engraving and silver plating look excellent! It is comfortable and does seem to help with the upper register while still allowing for a nice low register without bottoming-out. Previously, I was playing on a different brand shallow piece with the same cup diameter, so that makes for a good comparison scenario. I’ll need to play it more to form a definitive opinion, but if after additional playing my experience remains the same, It will become my mouthpiece of choice. -Warren G.

I had a consultation with Dr. Dave, and he gave me loads of useful information prior to my purchase. The mouthpiece I purchased (on his recommendation) is extremely comfortable. Immediately noticed that it was easier to play, my duration increased, and my high range was less strained. I was a bit skeptical at claims that the mouthpiece helps you "lock in" notes, but I found this to be exactly the case. As a result, I am much more confident in my playing now, and I can play higher and for longer periods. I very strongly recommend this mouthpiece -- it is the only mouthpiece that was truly a "game changer" from the moment I tried it. -Christopher P.

I bought this mouthpiece with a 5 degree angle because I was tired of sending pieces into the shop to have them bent. I really like how the built- in angle on this mouthpiece feels. The wedge rim is quite comfortable and really didn’t require any time to adjust to. I’m feeling a marked improvement in my flexibility and endurance as well as getting an overall bigger sound. I’m still having difficulty slotting the E above high C but it is becoming more consistent than before. Now that I’ve been playing on this mouthpiece for a while I can experiment with adding a sound booster and adjusting the gap to get things just right. Bottom line; this thing is a keeper. -Nicholas Z.

Title: Bought both 65ES and 65MDV - Really like them both

I'd been looking at Wedge trumpet mouthpieces for some time now but hesitated in buying any because I was afraid that with the price (ouch!), I'd hate them and be stuck with them. I've encountered failures before and didn't want to repeat history. Anyway, a friend of mine in the concert band took the first plunge and he immediately raved at how good he felt they made him play. He bought the 67MDV. Being initially more interested in increasing my jazz endurance, I decided to take a risk on the 65ES, having compared it to the Schilke 13A4A I'd been playing lead on for years. While I was waiting for the jazz mouthpiece, I discovered that there was a 65MDV (to potentially replace my Schilke 13C4) available on discount due to blemishes (that I've yet to find), so I ordered it, too. Still concerned about the money I'd spent and the questionable luck I've had with my mouthpiece choices over my nearly 60 years of playing, I waited... I'm glad I did! Immediately both mouthpieces felt really comfortable and were super-easy to play. While neither mouthpiece added to my range (yet), I was particularly happy with improvements in both flexibility and endurance. I've sine made them my daily drivers and plan to use them for a long time. The 65ES brightened up my sound immediately and gave me a laser-like focus. The 65MDV gives me a fat, round symphonic quality that I really like. I must recommend these mouthpieces. Besides being great players, they are extremely high quality and really beautiful to look at. -Timothy W.

Title: Really Enjoying this 66MV Mouthpiece

I'm a 69yo comeback player, and my goals for performing are pretty modest: play well, be technically proficient, produce a nice tone, and most of all have fun! I've been on a mouthpiece safari for about a year now, and I have to say that the Wedge just may be my final stop. After talking with Dr. Dave (which I highly recommend you do), he suggested I try the 66MV Hybrid. I have thoroughly enjoyed this mouthpiece. My endurance has improved about 50%, and my range is more consistent (not a screamer, consistent E). The Hybrid top always feels warm, so I always feel like I'm warmed up, even after long rest periods in a piece. I will say that you need to spend time with a mirror to ensure you have the mouthpiece placement correct, considering whatever angle you hold your horn. After I found my optimum placement, I used a sharpie to make a small mark on both the mouthpiece and the horn so I can ensure insertion and alignment is correct every time. The mouthpiece is not inexpensive, but with the 90-day audition period I don't think you can go wrong. I would highly recommend you try this. - Dale W.

Title: Pretty amazing mouthpiece

I started playing trumpet in1955, played through high school and then on to one of the most famous music colleges in the United States. Then I taught for 25 years, switched careers and took 30 years off, no playing whatsoever. Two years ago I decided to see if I could still play, anything. I bought a great trumpet and tried a plethora of mouthpieces. After carefully researching the Wedge I decided that it was a small investment, indeed, to see if I could get back some of what I once had. This mouthpiece is all it’s reported to be and much more. You will find an instant increase in your range and endurance and a long term improvement in all of those things that are problematic to every horn player. If you are struggling with range, tone, endurance, flexibility or technique then what are you willing to pay for something that can help in ALL of those areas. Make your own decisions about your playing and try this mouthpiece. You won’t regret it at all. Playing is fun again!! - Jerry H.

I wish to review the company, as I returned the mouthpiece after I trialed the 65MV Hybrid One Piece for 10 days - as suggested by Dr Dave during a free, pre-purchase consultation. The mouthpiece wasn’t a good ‘fit’ for me. However, I wish to sincerely thank Dave & his colleagues for the opportunity of trialing it. I have a number of medical issues (2x bouts of Bell’s Palsy during my life & currently an abdominal hernia) & I wanted to see if this mouthpiece was helpful in my resumption of playing trumpet again after a long time away from the instrument. The consultation, sales, delivery & approval to return under warranty have all gone smoothly thus far. (Mouthpiece has arrived back in Canada but am awaiting confirmation of return & then refund. But given my dealings with company thus far I feel completely confident in their integrity). Hope this review assists anyone ambivalent about giving a change of mouthpiece a trial.

As a 24 years old trumpeter (started at 8 years old) I saw the advertisement of Wedge on Facebook. Since then, I often thought about it while playing a conventional 1.5C and 1.25C (brass mouthpieces). I never experienced a plastic or related rim before, but the trust in Wedge made me the decision to buy the hybrid mouthpiece. Received the mouthpiece at the end of January. From the first moment I felt really comfortable on it. Playing is going so much easier and I don't need to think about the notes anymore. I just can think about the melody lines only! Intonation has been approved a lot, especially on my C trumpet. I can use the same fingering on my C trumpet as on my Bb for notes like the E and Eb. I am super happy with the mouthpiece and am planning to buy one for my flugelhorn too! - Jochem vdO

Title: Excellent service for a unique mouthpiece

Production standards for modern mouthpieces from reputable companies are excellent. Likewise, the standards for the Wedge appear to be excellent. I highly recommend talking to Dave if you're thinking of trying a Wedge. He gives a knowledgable discussion on mouthpieces while being as close to zero-pressure as possible. Although I am keeping the mouthpiece, Dave gives me complete confidence that he would follow through on his return polices which have reasonable caveats, IMO. As I wrote above, I'm keeping the mouthpiece. At least for me, it gave modest range and endurance improvements out-of-the-box. The first time, it felt like a regular mouthpiece on my embouchure. But while playing the center of the embouchure had more room to vibrate resulting in a better buzz. As I've been using it for the past few weeks, adjusting to the mouthpiece has taught me to regulate pressure, use a more relaxed embouchure with "firm" corners to achieve some meaningful increases in range and quality. - Geof G.

Thank you Dr. Dave, I highly recommend Wedge mouthpieces to all brass players! - Martti

Title: Chuck Finley 66 MV – hybrid, with10 angle

The wedge mouthpiece is very comfortable and conformed well to my embouchure. The mouthpiece response is excellent. The hybrid top is better than metal – smooth and does not change with temperature. My transition to the new wedge mouthpiece was relatively easy resulting in an improved trumpet tone and control. My original mouthpiece system had a bent shaft to accommodate my overbite. I was able to change over to the 10 angle wedge mouthpiece, which worked out very well. My mouthpiece also had a 29 backbore while the 66 MV was a 27. Dr. Dave's advice to select the 66 MV hybrid with a 10 angle was the best choice for me. The hybrid wedge mouthpiece is as good as described. I would highly recommended the wedge for consideration by other trumpet players. - Tim N.

Title: Fantastic multi-genre mouthpiece.

A great mouthpiece with a very comfortable rim, medium depth and clear and distinct slotting of notes from pedal to stratosphere. Takes a little bit to get used to like all wedge mouthpieces, but the comfort and added endurance is well worth the added practice needed. Debating on whether or not to get myself a 64MV top with my warburton backbore to try out the new hybrid designs. Great choice! - Tristan D.

Title: Two Thumbs Up

I'm a decent player, but far from a pro - so take all this as one amateur's opinion. I went through my mouthpiece safari about ten years ago and had been playing a Yamaha Bobby Shew Jazz happily ever since. I wasn't really looking for a new mouthpiece, but I happened to come across the Wedge and was intrigued by the concept. It all just seemed to make sense to me. After a lot of internal back and forth I decided to just give it a shot. Well, I'm very glad that I decided to take the plunge. I find the composite rim surprisingly more comfortable than a brass rim. That alone would probably have won me over. But I also believe that the contoured rim design that Dr. Dave has developed also provides a benefit. I can't say I have experienced any miracles in range or endurance, but I do think they are improved. Overall, I am a satisfied customer for sure. - Darrell N.

Title: Comfortable, Easy to Play On Mouthpiece

I'm an active community music trumpet player who plays in a symphonic band, an orchestra, and two jazz bands. I have just been playing on a mouthpiece recommended by a trumpet teacher over 20 years ago, without much thought into what might make the best sense for me in this stage of my musical life. After consulting with Dr. Dave, I settled on the hybrid Chuck Findley 66MV Hybrid One Piece with add on sound booster. The sound is fantastic, and it is definitely comfortable. My corners took a little getting used to it, indicating that it is fixing/correcting some cheating that was going on in my embouchre. Overall a great decision to buy! - Sarah W.

5 star review

Title: Potential Game Changer

As I get older (now closing in on 70 years old). I was looking for some options to improve upper range with less pressure without sacrificing tone or precision in articulation. I have never been a gimmick chaser and I don’t think the Wedge (or any other mouthpiece) will substitute the results that can be achieved through well applied practice time. However, I am increasingly more comfortable with all aspects of playing on my Wedge than the Bach 1 1/2 or Bach 3 that have been my primary mouthpieces for years. My experience with the Wedge is that while it is definitely a different experience from a “normal mouthpiece”, so far the results have been positive. Perhaps my concentrating on embouchure to adapt to the Wedge is as much responsible as the mouthpiece itself. However, I am finding that endurance is already improved and I am feeling strong at the end of 2 hour concerts in order to finish strong. The verdict is far from final however I have zero regrets about my purchase and I am gaining confidence each day as I spend more time and learn more about what and how I need to adapt to perform well using the unique design of the Wedge. - Rick C.

Title: Great product even if not for me

As we all know, a review is a highly personal and biased experience, and even though the Hybrid mouthpiece did not agree with me I have to give it a 5 star rating. It is beautifully crafted and I do recognize it's advantages in the warmer and softer feel on the chops. It also has a very fast response and vibrates with great spontaneity. For me it just doesn't give me the ideal sounds that I perceive on a brass mouthpiece. It's worth trying out! - Mike A.

Title: Backup piece

Once you find the "perfect" Wedge mouthpiece for your needs, I highly recommend getting a backup. That's what I've done by getting a second 67MDV, just in case... It has such a beautiful sound for any musical style, classical, jazz, whatever (excluding only lead playing). It's also well centered and has a very free response in all registers. And, via the 90-day return policy Dave offers, I sent back a mouthpiece that didn't work for me and paid nothing for the new backup. A unique offer in this business! Bravo Dave Harrison! - Mike A.

Title: 67MV Hybrid One Piece

High notes are easier. The sound is live, bright and carries. I prefer a darker sound, especially for piccolo trumpet. Not sure how this 67MV would sound on C trumpet. The rim feels good. For musicals, commercial, jazz and some modern orchestra literature, I think it would be a good choice. For me, maybe a slightly deeper cup would help on darker sound. I also use a #24 throat in mouthpc. It's all so very individual and different for each player. - Richard W.

This mouthpiece gives me everything I love about my Bobby Shew Jazz mouthpiece (balanced sound, facility in the mid-high register without completely losing the bottom), plus significant added comfort (both from the hybrid material, which feels warmer and softer, and from the rim shape, which just feels more natural on my lips). Excited to slowly expand my quiver of Wedge tops to replace my current mouthpieces, which seem like.. old technology now! - Ravi G.

Title: Oh ya!

I've been using a 5 degree 66MV for the past two months. Previously, I played on a 65S, but found it too shallow for my liking. The team at Harrison, were really helpful and promptly replaced it with the 66MV. Their customer service is top-notch. It's important to have an open mind about mouthpieces. I recommend booking an evaluation with Dr. Dave and being open to his suggestions, rather than being set on a specific MP. Before this, I used a Monette B6M, which is great but lacks the flexibility of returns or exchanges. This can be costly when searching for the right fit. The 66MV isn't miraculous, but it's comfortable, aids in maintaining focus, and works well with a separate top/bore system. This allows for easy swapping between horns and fine-tuning without accumulating unused mouthpieces. - Chris N.

Title: Chuck Findley 66S One Piece Review

I am a 67 year old trumpet player (advanced skills when I practice) with a Music degree. Over the decades my playing time has been up and down dramatically. Recently I decided to see how far I could push the horn and started again (not quite from ground zero). I was willing to try all I could to get back to a performance level. The Wedge sounded like a great concept. It makes sense to get a little more muscle action in the mouthpiece with no extra effort (the design does that). After months of practice to determine if it worked I can say yes it does. My endurance and range are better than ever. I can feel the sides of my embouchure naturally pucker a little more to support more demanding music. I play with more confidence. Bottom line it works for me. I am going to order another one for a cornet I recently purchased and having so much fun with. Thanks, David B.

Title: 66MDV Hybrid.
I live in England. The half hour ‘zoom’ conversation with Dr Dave was seamless and I bought the mp he recommended. ( I wanted to increase confidence with high range and extend endurance). I used the mo for a week- rehearsing at home and with four different ensembles. It was comfortable, probably eased effort above the stave a little, but I coukd discern no difference in endurance. Unfortunately I didn’t like sound I produced… rather dull … lacking in ‘sparkle’. After a week I asked to return the mp for a refund. The company didn’t hesitate in giving me the necessary postage details and the item has been posted back to Canada. I await a refund ( it’s only been a few days so I’m not expecting anything yet). British customs have refunded what I paid to import. So… as long as I get a full refund I shall think it a worthwhile experience… but that party no didn’t suit me. I can’t honestly answer the Yes or No question about whether I would recommend the product. -Stephen W.

Excellent design, high quality machining and finishing. Great service from ordering to delivery. This mouthpiece delivers everything I hoped for regarding sound, response and comfort. I find my sound is somehow cleaner, smoother and my endurance in all registers is greatly improved compared to my Yamaha mouthpieces. The only challenge for me is to remember to ease up when playing between registers as the mouthpiece speaks so easily. I agree with Michael A from Italy in his comments! Next for me will be a Flugelhorn mouthpiece as the design works so much better than my Yamaha or Bach alternatives. Thank you Dave and your team! -James M.

I’ll start with the service. When in the history of mouthpieces has it been possible to try one for 90 and send it back if it doesn’t work for you? I’m guessing the answer is “Never before Wedge.” Now the product. For me the 65MV is perfect. I play mostly big band jazz and it gives me the sound I prefer - full and brilliant. It’s great for up tunes and sweet for ballads. Add that the shape has given me extra endurance and you know why I give it five stars. Thanks, Dr. Dave! -Jim H.

I love the hybrid mouthpiece and I’m slowly getting my chops back. I always struggled to reach high c and hoped the wedge would help there too. I keep testing seeing how high I can get and am encouraged but not comfortable there yet. I greatly admire what Dr Dave has innovated and produced and am pleased to be part of the wedge community.

Title: Comfort, playability, increased range and endurance
I’ve been a fan of “the wedge” design for some time now. I had a natural wedge in my dental structure that has flattened out as I got older. So putting the wedge on the mouthpiece side of my embouchure made sense to me. And it works. Now, with the new hybrid top, I have a bit more comfort without losing the playability of a solid brass piece. And adding a 5 degree offset has taken a bit of pressure off of my top teeth and balanced things out for me. I’d recommend the wedge design to anybody. But especially to older players whose tooth structure has changed over the years. -CC

Title: The Wedge and Me

Are used the new 67 MDV brass one piece trumpet mouthpiece right out of the box, no break in period, At a brass band rehearsal, in which I play first/solo chair. It was quite comfortable, and I have continued to use it ever since. It replaced a Curry 1 1/2 C mouthpiece which I broke in approximately two months previously. The tone is roughly the same, and my range (which tops out at E - occasional F above high C) is unchanged. I use this mouthpiece in brass band, symphony orchestra, and jazz band, in which I play second (solo) part. On the whole, I like it very much, and I seem to be beaten up much less by rehearsals and performances, important for an old retired guy.

Title: Just what the doctor ordered

It was 2017 and I hadn't played or practiced consistently in MANY years, but I was able to finally carve out some time and practice daily. After almost a year I was not satisfied with my progress. I'd seen Dr. Dave and Wedge on Facebook, so I sent Dr. Dave an email. I began my renewed trumpet journey in 2018 with a 65M mouthpiece that replaced my Bach 7C. I transitioned to a 65S in January 2022 resulting from another email dialog with Dr Dave. I was satisfied but still wanted more range and better endurance. My situation after a year plus on the 65S was that I was playing the 1st trumpet part for our municipal band. I am fortunate to share the part with an outstanding professional who selflessly offers hints and tips. I was confident with A's and B flats above the staff for the duration of our weekly 2 hour rehearsals and our twelve or so performances during our season. B natural not so much and high C's and above were just not reliable. Dr. Dave recommended the 64LV hybrid and I've been using it for about a month. It took a while to get used to the lighter weight of the hybrid; the center of gravity on the trumpet changed a wee bit. After a month, I alternate using the 65S and 64LV depending on the piece. I have a feeling I will go to the 64LV almost exclusively before too long. Everything in our band's repertoire with demands above the staff is noticeably easier and my endurance is improving. I'm finding the 64LV works fairly well for me in the lower register, too. After a month I'm still adjusting to the slightly different feel and it's similar to my transition from the 65M to the 65S. The most significant transition is overshooting some attacks above the staff because I'm overblowing; I'm working harder than I need to! I'm happy to work on this. The 64LV which is my first hybrid experience is an unqualified success for me. -Peter J W.

I use a 66MD top normally and ordered this one piece model of the same size but with larger throat to test how big the difference is. It’s a bit different in feel so I don’t use it everyday but have it as a backup and use it on my Adams A2 trumpet because the combination with that horn is really good. It comes not as a surprise that the one piece with bigger throat actually feels bigger. I prefer to use the single top model to be able to switch backbore.
