Description

“The 165TR uses the Tone Ring to adjust impedance, bringing a warm density, a natural softness, and a rounded presence to the sound.
Its very large cup provides an immediate sense of width, great ease in the mid–low register, and a naturally full tone from the first notes, even with a medium rim.
The short contour enhances ease and comfort: the mouthpiece responds smoothly, remains stable, and maintains a consistent warmth across the entire range.
The Tone Ring adds a distinctive sonic foundation — a blend of roundness, sustain, and gentle depth, characteristic of the TR series“

Review

“I had the chance to try the 165TR mouthpiece during a full rehearsal, and I’ll be ordering it in gold-plated version.
It suits me perfectly.

My conductor immediately noticed the difference — he said the sound quality was much better.

From the outside, he even said I seemed to play better, even though I didn’t change anything in my playing.

You were absolutely right.

Thank you very much for your advice and guidance.”

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.

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
