Review
“Hi Dimitri!
I’ve been playing the 170C Massive for almost a month now, and I’m really impressed — completely transitioned to it!
Great work!
It’s very comfortable, that rim shape is amazing, and it’s the perfect size (I used to play a Bach 1.5C).
I can make it sound creamy and airy if I want to, and it’s very responsive at low volume.
Really nice!”

“A little gem.”

“First impressions after testing:
The home trial was the best and fastest way for me to find the right Donat mouthpiece.
The quality is outstanding, and it was hard to choose between them!
I tested several models, but my choice was the 170C Massive —
comfortable rim, free-blowing, nice timbre and tone, accurate intonation, clear articulation, strong dynamics, easy playing across all registers.
It has everything I need.
I can say the right one has been found — I’m delighted.
Thank you very much, Dmitri, for the testing opportunity, your work, and your time creating these wonderful mouthpieces.”

“The 170C mouthpiece produces a recognizable sound on my Inderbinen SilverArt, so I’ve ordered another standard one.
Thank you for your work!”

“Hi Dimitri,
Just to let you know I decided to go ahead and order the 170C.
I’m very happy with the feel of this mouthpiece.
Yesterday, I played it intensively for several hours in a Big Band rehearsal — it was excellent!
Best regards,”

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.
