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.

João Marcos Rizzo –
The sound, comfort, and tone are extraordinary! Without any doubt, it is the best flugelhorn mouthpiece I have ever owned.
Thierry Cladères –
I received the 168FL for my flugelhorn — it’s amazing and gives my horn new colors I’d never heard before.
Stéphane –
I received the mouthpiece in its beautiful presentation case — thank you! Now it’s up to me to do it justice!
Sylvain –
I was blown away! It’s so enjoyable to play — it soars in the high register, drops deep into the lows, and stays perfectly centered with spot-on intonation. Effortlessly, I can play exactly what I want to hear. The tone is less mellow than the Belmondo, but it’s the bright, clear sound I was looking for, especially for Jazz-Funk
Guillaume Lavallard –
The 168FL — after a full day of playing, I really noticed more brilliance in my sound. Thanks for your warm welcome, attentiveness, and availability.
Joël Zazzron –
Last year I bought a 168FL to start playing flugelhorn, and it helped me a lot. Now, I even use it on trumpet (with an adapter). You should try it — it’s truly a wonder, and it has become my favorite mouthpiece for jazz.

Aloha Dimitri, Just received the mouthpiece, and you were exactly right — Magnifique! It’s easy to play, has excellent intonation and perfect articulation. The rim is exactly what I hoped for, and the sound is fantastic. You’ve created a magical mouthpiece — I trusted your judgment, and I’m glad I did. Thank you for your advice and great craftsmanship. My next project will be to replace my B4!
