Avis
“I received the 172D this morning, and it’s exceptional.
The attack is precise, the sound remains rich and open even in the high register, and the projection is flawless.
It gives an incredible stability, while staying alive under the lips.
A true section player’s mouthpiece — balanced, enduring, and musical.
Thank you for this wonderful piece, Dimitri.”
Jean-Michel – 172D
I’ve had the mouthpiece for two weeks now, and it’s pure delight.
It’s exactly what I was hoping for.
I feel just as comfortable as with the 172D, but with more ease in the high register (as expected), without losing any sound quality.
Thank you for this beautiful work.
Alain B.

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.
