collapse expand iconDescription

Designed in cooperation with Paxman and players in the London Symphony Orchestra, these French horn mouthpieces have a different outer shape compared to standard mouthpieces. The added heavy center mass is combined with a thinner upper wall design, funnel shaped cup, and thicker rim to provide a mouthpiece with increased articulation response, stability and projection. The heavier center mass helps to provide more tonal clarity while allowing for a traditional sound and feel.
