Review
“Thank you for your advice and your responsiveness — this C3 will make a great gift under the Christmas tree! I was impressed by the power developed by the Tulip rims when you put some air into them. It will take me a bit of time to get used to it, but I think I’ll gain significantly in endurance.” Ludovic Canler
“I’ve just ordered the BeYourself mouthpiece (it reminds me of my Bach 1½ C and Yamaha 16C4, but it’s easier and more comfortable). I also chose the 169C3 Tulip, which I found very easy to play. Your mouthpieces are fantastic! Many thanks to you.” François
“I received and already tried my new mouthpiece, thank you! I really appreciated the packaging — it truly feels like receiving a gift; it’s such a great feeling — I even pretended to be surprised to complete the picture! Thanks again, I’ll think of you often.” Nicolas Bargues / 169C3 Tulip, silver plated
“I think I made the right choice with the 169C3 in Tulip rim. I love the distinctive sound, slightly velvety, brought by the Tulip rim, very even from low to high register.” Pascal Lebled
“169C3 Tulip #25 — it looks beautiful and sounds great. The intonation is perfect, and overall it’s just fantastic. You are Master.”
“Thank you for this information, I’ll therefore keep the brass mouthpieces. Thank you as well for your advice on choosing the mouthpieces — it really suits me. The mouthpieces are excellent, and it keeps getting better at every rehearsal!” Benoit Piroux / 169C3 Tulip

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.
