Review
“I’ve played a bunch of rehearsals and a few gigs this week on the 253 and I’m sold! I really love it. Much greater endurance, the articulations (!!!) are a huge difference. Compared to the Monette it has a bit more air-pressure which really allows me to play so much more comfortably. It still feels more ‘open’ than some similarly sized mouthpieces I tried which were always too stuffy. Perhaps the negative alpha angle is part of the reason why. I noticed it right away and I’m not exactly sure what it does but it feels good!”

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.
