Our new student mouthpiece

I've been rather unhappy with the mouthpieces available for students, and knew we could do better! We believe that the mouthpiece used by most beginning students is too resistant and reed fussy. Our design is extremely easy blowing, has unusually good low note response, and is quite durable. The baffle is concave, not flat, and has a very slight rollover for projection. The window is undercut with a nice, sharp ramp to decrease resistance. The chamber is horseshoe shaped with a round top and square walls to facilitate projection and high note response. You'll notice we put a a somewhat gentle slope on the beak, which significantly improves player comfort and helps beginners form a good embouchure. Of course, there is a metal band on the shank to prevent splitting. The ligature has extra large screws and a compound reed plate. Tip opening is .070, with a radial curve. Other makers could have put all of these much needed features in a student mouthpiece, but they didn't. We did. Here's the fruits of our labor, which we will have available in about 60 days at a retail price of around $50
