Brasswind Research THE NEW LEADER IN MOUTHPIECE DESIGN

HOW TO USE

FIVE SIMPLE STEPS TO GET THE MOST OUT OF OUR MOUTHPIECES:

Step 1 Select a mouthpiece body that describes the kind of sound you want and that is designed for your type of instrument (Bb or C, etc.)

Step 2 Select a rim size according to our detailed Sizometer Chart. Assemble the mouthpiece, and insert the combination into the instrument.

Step 3 After a brief warmup, carefully tune your instrument with a tuning meter so (open) middle C plays clearly at about 0 cents error.

Step 4 ENJOY, as most instruments are already designed to cooperate with our carefully calibrated acoustic setup. Hotswap any model.

Step 5 Contact us at Brasswind Research to exchange your rim for a better fitting size if needed.

INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES:

For some individuals, the combination of instrument, mouthpiece, and embouchure can give rise to one of two tendencies:

A: If play testing reveals a tendency for ascending scale-wise flatness then we can provide a "High pitch" rim for correction.

B: If play testing reveals an opposite tendency for ascending sharpness then a "Low pitch" rim will help correct that issue

C: Other rim contours are available, and we will do our best to select or design a rim to help meet your needs.
