Title: 66MV + Soundbooster
Im a hobby musician and playing in a brass band. I played a lot of different mouthpieces during all the years e.g. Bach 1-1/2C, Yamaha 16C4-GP and a Brand Groove... I spent many hours on reading through the wege-website for getting an idea of wich mouthpiece I should choose. In the end I landed by the "good chose for most" 66MV. After a few months I can say it is a really good choice. From deep over mid to high level (high C+), everything feel a little bit easier to play and sounds quit well. I may get an 66S too, for the even higher parts I have to play... -Michael V.
 
Sound Booster for Regular Weight Trumpet Mouthpiece
5 star review
Title: even better intonation
I purchased the booster together with the polymer MDV66, because it was highly suggested by Wedge. I like the sound and touch and feeling of 'plastic' mouthpieces. That MDV66 is now my favourite one on my heavyweight trumpet. The booster makes the tone/sound more profound and makes the intonation even better. As my experience Wedge mouthpieces have better intonation than traditional ones of other makes. And the this booster makes the situation even better. I have a few 'plastic' Wedges that are now waiting for their own boosters. -Samuel A.

Title: Believer Now
Dr. Dave recommended this to go with the hybrid top I purchased to aid with all the things it says it helps. I wanted to not like it as it kinda makes the mouthpiece look a little goofy but every time I take it off I noticed the difference and put it right back on. Highly recommended. -Jeff G.

Title: Works very well
I won’t say I was skeptical on the sound booster but I never bought into the “heavier mouthpiece is better concept”, but I figured it was worth a try, especially with the hybrid lighter mouthpiece. It’s actually quite amazing. I can’t say that it changes my sound much but from the player side, the mouthpiece feedback is so much more comfortable with it. It just feels more solid and locked in. I love it and of course will never take it off. I originally bought one for my small shank jazz horn but so love the Wedge hybrid mouthpiece with the sound booster I replaced my large shank symphony horn mouthpieces as well, and that was already a Wedge. -Wayne J.

Title: Does what it's advertised to do
I've been using a hybrid 105E with my euphonium for several months. I like the mouthpiece, but felt it produced a tone that was a bit too dark for my taste. I got the tone booster for Christmas, and am glad to report that it indeed does brighten the tone. i will be using it henceforth. -Daniel S.

Title: Booster French Horn mouthpiece
This booster is really necessary, it gives the mouthpiece the ideal weight for a more focused sound, more precise attacks, and better joints. Happy with the purchase -Carlos B.

Title: Great Addition for Balanced Sound
The sound booster for my variety of Wedge mouthpieces adds great sound and balance to the overall tone projecting from your trumpet. It makes the sound more 3D and full rather than thin and narrow! Every mouthpiece I have ordered with a booster has improved my depth of sound, the balance and overall dimension of the sound emanating from each mouthpiece. I know some are skeptical as to how much improvement you will get in the mouthpiece from just adding a booster. Try it! You can return it if you disagree with the improvement, But I bet you will keep the booster because KGU runs a business in the Ukraine mainly on trumpet mouthpiece boosters…So there has to be something positive regarding their effectiveness! I love mine! -Nick G.

Title: Sound Booster
Definitely makes a difference when using the hybrid tops. I ultimately preferred using silver plated brass with how it felt on the chops without the booster, but I would recommend using this booster if using a hybrid top! - Nathan L.
 
Sound Booster for Regular Weight Trumpet Mouthpiece

Title: Great for those that need or want to bolster their sound
I've tried sounds boosters before and I never liked them, so I have to say that this one is the most discreet and effective in making the sound more dense without overdoing it. The boosters with rubber against metal are useless, they just deaden the sound as they kill the upper harmonics that are so characteristic of the trumpet's tone quality. Unfortunately a lot of oversized metal on metal boosters do the same thing. The Wedge sound booster is not too heavy and it couples with the mouthpiece perfectly, giving more density to the sound without deadening it. A great product!! - Mike A.

Sound Booster for Small and Medium Shank Trombone Mouthpiece
5 star review
Title: Super worth the money
I tried one of these on a whim and it accidentally ended up being exactly what I was looking for to balance out my setup. I play on an old King 3B with an F attachment and a carbon fiber outer slide made by Butler down in Texas. I've been mostly super happy with it for the past 5 or 6 years, but I have noticed keeping up with a section in terms of projection is sometimes harder with the carbon fiber outer slide. I realized that if you take metal away, it might make sense to put some back somewhere else. This totally did the trick! It was like night and day. Feels like the same projection I get with a standard outer slide. Highly recommend it! - Ethan C.

Tone Modifier for Small and Medium Shank Trombone Mouthpiece
5 star review
Title: Tone Modifier
I started using a Wedge 11c (from eBay) without a tone modifier. The 11c introduced me to the Wedge concept. It worked so well on my small bore horn that I bought Delrin Wedges for my bass trombone and Conn 88hcl. I liked the sound of the 11c without the Tone Modifier but was afraid it might be a blending problem with the trombone section in the jazz band. When I got the tone modifier a few weeks ago, I began using it all the time. Non trombone players can’t seem to hear any difference, but I hear a pretty radical difference. The tone is more compact. It might also be that the mouthpiece slots better. I recently bought a Delrin 100al for my Conn. I asked the Horn player in my brass quintet about the sound with and without the Tone Modifier. He felt the sound with the Tone Modifier was much better than the sound without. He’s a good player and I trust his judgement. The bottom line is that I’m using a tone modifier on all three Wedge mouthpieces -Silas Y

Tone Modifier for Large/Remington Shank Trombone and Euphonium Mouthpiece

Title: Tone modifier for 114D mouthpiece
I was happy with the silver-plated 114D Wedge bass trombone mouthpiece I had purchased previously, but was curious to see whether the tone modifier might provide even further improvement. Because of Wedge's risk-free trial policy, I purchased the tone modifier. To my pleasant surprise, the difference was really quite noticeable, and very positive. My experience with mouthpieces in general is that a heavier shank facilitates the type of sound I want, and the tone modifier provides exactly that effect. It is extremely easy to apply and remove, using the small key that Wedge provides with it. I would definitely recommend giving the tone modifier a try. -Marty F

Title: Works
Have a booster on a 114xd and it gives a little bit more core. Now on a Conn 62 HVL with George Robberts leadpipe is it for me the sound what i was looking for -Nico M.

Sound Booster for Large/Remington Shank Trombone and Euphonium Mouthpiece
5 star review
Title: 101G Hybrid with Sound Booster used with a Euphonium
The Zoom consultation with Dr. Dave was helpful and led me a more appropriate selection for me. I had three goals. I hoped for one to two more notes on the high end and a little better stamina without compromising the dark tone desirable on euphonium. I did not experience increased range. I do have a little better stamina. The tone actually darkened slightly, so two of my three goals are being met. I also like the feel of the hybred rim. I would recommend it to others. - H.C. R.

Sound Booster for Small and Medium Shank Trombone Mouthpiece
5 star review
Title: Sound booster
I started on a delrin 6.5 AL Jazz as my introduction to Wedge, and I love the comfort of the delrin rim. Adding the tone booster has given me a bigger, more secure sound, better slotting & security, and evenness of sound in all registers. I actually like the way I sound now! -David C.

Title: Silvered Sound Booster
Pursuant to Dr. Dave's recommendation, I bought the silvered Sound Booster to go on a one-piece trumpet 66MDV. The Sound Booster does add richness to the tone, not a lot, but it is noticeable. I describe it as giving a "fuller" tone to the overall sound. Would I buy it again? Well yes indeed! I just bought another one to go with the new hybrid 65S mouthpiece I ordered also. Go Wedge! -John T.
