Review
“They’re superb! (169E light & 170C light).
They complete my flugelhorn mouthpiece and my older 169C from Donat.
Comfortable, precise, with great endurance and tonal variety — a real pleasure!
Well done!”
Rémi – Feb 2022
“I use the silver 170C light for recovery sessions, agile passages, and soft or harmonic playing.
The sound is subtle, the phrasing beautiful, and it adapts perfectly to orchestral fortissimo passages.
Truly excellent!”
Nicolas
“Convinced by the 170C light for my C trumpet.
A huge pleasure to play: easy across all registers, rich lows, power and warmth.
It’s so easy to shape the sound, with great comfort on the lips.
Day after day, it became obvious — like finding the perfect fit!”
Antoine Gammal – 170C light – Oct 2021
“The mouthpiece is truly beautiful!
From the very first try, an incredible sensation — the 170C disappears in favor of a free, warm sound.
Precise attack, stable range, wide dynamic palette, and flawless intonation.
I love discovering the amazing world of Donat mouthpieces!”
N. Boéri – 170C light – Apr 2021
“I’m keeping the 170C light — it convinced me right away!
Remarkable finesse, quick response, and extraordinary control in soft dynamics.
G. Mayer – 170C light – May 2021
“I wanted to thank and congratulate you.
Since I found the 170C, it’s been a revelation — I’m back to practicing seriously.
Warm, round tone, beautiful attacks, easy high register, and renewed joy in playing.
My colleagues are amazed.
Thank you for rekindling my passion!”

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.
