Avis
“I wanted to thank you for sending the 161 TR and 170 B3 cornet mouthpieces. Finally, real cornet mouthpieces!
Not only are they beautiful and uniquely shaped, but they are also of very high sound quality.
The 170 B3, with its V-shaped cup, produces a soft, mellow tone — just the way I like it. Cornets are not the trumpets of Jericho, after all!
And when fatigue sets in, the amazing 161 TR turns ugly ducklings into majestic swans.
Excellent service, luxurious presentation, and a thoughtful personal note — all much appreciated.
Of course, this is personal (and a bit subjective), but these mouthpieces suit me perfectly.
Pure joy! Thank you, and long live craftsmanship!”

It is the feelings of the musicians that describe the mouthpieces in the best way.
Blank / Plating

Silver plating
A layer of silver is deposited on the brass.
Thanks to its good thermal conductivity, silver provides a smooth and comfortable feel on the lips.
We have chosen an exceptional plating with a thick layer of silver – 20 µm, ensuring very high quality and long-term durability.
Gold plating
A layer of pure 24-carat gold is deposited over the silver plating.
Thanks to its high thermal conductivity, gold provides a soft and warm sensation on the lips.
We have chosen an excellence plating in pure 24-carat gold, the only metal that does not oxidize over time.
Shipping Time
→ If the chosen mouthpiece appears to be “in stock” (as in the image opposite), it will be shipped to you between 1 and 3 working days following your order.

It will then be sent to our silversmith – aurifier. Upon receipt of this, its deadline for carrying out its tackle varies between 10 and 15 days. We chose to collaborate with this plater for the very high quality of his work. Like us, he works each piece by hand (polishing / plating / brightening). After his work, he sends the mouthpiece back to us and we in turn send it to you. For this finest of work and for all these short back and forth, it takes an average of 4 weeks between ordering and expedition.

Tone Ring
A brand new development from Donat mouthpieces, in collaboration with Dutch musicians: Tone-Ring mouthpieces, available for cornet and flugelhorn, designed to give an unmatched combination of sound and playability.
Along with a unique new design, adding a Tone-Ring to the cup, a shorter heavy blank has been developed for improved tuning. Characteristic for the Tone-Ring mouthpieces is a big and rich sound, maintaining its integrity with clean articulation at all dynamics, throughout the range of the instrument.
“The Tone-Ring concept really is a game changer. Try it to believe it!” Ko de Rooij
