Avis

« Received the 170B and played it for about an hour. Initial impressions are:
More comfortable
Easier to blow-less stuffy
Much more in tune in all ranges
More grip on mpc
Tone sounds more focused
No difference in articulation
No difference in range
Endurance is similar
As I get acclimated I am sure other differences will come to light and the improvements will be enhanced. Suspect it will take a few weeks to acclimate fully.
Thank you very much. »

The Cornet mouthpiece  170 B (Massive) is absolutely fantastic. The edge is very comfortable. The key despite the depth, extremely precise and flexibility is impressive .. I keep it! –Gabrien Mayer – 2022Jan

After testing the mouthpieces a week I’m very glad to order one more mouthpiece.

Best results were on the 170B – massive. I like the bright sound and the ultra-precise attack. All notes are very stable, clear and the intonation holds through the full register extraordinary good. In the upper register above C”’ it plays very open compared to all my other mouthpieces.

 

That’s the reason, why I’ll order this one over your store. 🙂

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.


→If the chosen mouthpiece does not appear to be “in stock” (as in the image opposite), it will take an average of 4 weeks.

When the mouthpiece is not in stock, we will make it for you in our workshop within 2-3 working days of 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.
