The Difference Between Mediocrity & Mastery
A brass instrument mouthpiece is much more than an add-on or accessory. It is a vital part of your instrument. As interface between artist and instrument, it can mean the difference between mediocrity and mastery.

V Cup: | As a cup approaches the “V” shape the sound becomes darker and the lower register becomes easier to play. |
U Cup: | The more “U” shaped a cup is, the brighter the sound and the easier it is to play in the high register. |
Double Cup: | A “double cup” design, essentially a combination of the “U” and “V” shapes, facilitates playing throughout the instrument’s range. |
