Customization
Donat models are the result of several years of research and are designed to meet the needs of the vast majority of musicians.
Because every musician is unique, our workshop also offers a range of customization options. In some cases, these allow specific elements of your mouthpiece to be adapted to your preferences, your physiology, or your instrument.
Mouthpieces ordered through our Try at Home service are generally shipped within 1 to 7 business days, depending on model availability and workshop activity.
Purchasing a Mouthpiece
→ If the selected mouthpiece is marked “In Stock”, it will generally be shipped within 1 to 3 business days after your order.
→ If the selected mouthpiece is not marked “In Stock”, it will be specially manufactured for you in our workshop.
The average lead time between your order and shipment is 3 to 4 weeks.
This lead time allows us to devote the time and attention each mouthpiece deserves, ensuring the consistent level of quality we are committed to.
Our priority is not to manufacture faster, but to craft every mouthpiece with the same uncompromising level of care and precision.
Mouthpiece Customization
We also offer a wide range of customization options for your mouthpiece, including engraving, modifications to the throat, shank, rim contour, rim width, cup depth, cup shape, as well as other custom adaptations upon request.
Each customization is carried out individually in our workshop. The manufacturing lead time varies depending on the requested modifications and can be provided upon request.

JK –
This is an excellent mouthpiece: it is very easy to play, and the sound comes out naturally.
It also provides a great balance between jazz and classical music.
This mouthpiece is fantastic.
I recently changed trumpets and now play a Bach 180 with a 25 bell, the same model as Chet Baker.
With the 167 mouthpiece, it’s a perfect match.
I’ve played in many concerts recently, and using the 167 was very comfortable throughout all performances

Thank you for the mouthpiece — it is magnificent.
What a privilege to still be able to have a high-quality, human exchange.
See you soon, perhaps at your place!

My beautiful trumpet mouthpiece (167C) arrived three days ago.
It has a very beautiful, round sound when played softly, but it can also project — somewhere between Miles and Chet.
Playing a smaller mouthpiece is an interesting discipline: if you blow too hard, you can cut off the air.
It will take me a little time to relax more, which is good for my playing.
I’m truly delighted with your lovely mouthpieces, and very happy to have discovered Donat — I must come and see you one day.
Thank you so much for all your help

The weekend allowed me to fully appreciate the 167C Massive, which perfectly completes the palette of tone colors and dynamics.
Always comfortable, intuitive, and precise — an incomparable softness!
Bravo and thank you!!

I received the 167C this morning and was able to make a thorough comparison with the Yamaha I had been using until yesterday.
The cup is slightly wider and deeper, with a slightly narrower but flatter rim.
The throat is the same (3.90 mm).
The response is just as easy as with the 169C — you think the note and it comes out instantly, with a perfect attack, without effort.
The sound is exactly what’s needed for a rotary-valve trumpet, with a less tiring response.
Once again, bravo for these mouthpieces
