A brass instrument mouthpiece is much more than an add-on or accessory. It is a vital part of your instrument. As interface between artist and instrument, it can mean the difference between mediocrity and mastery.
The Signature and Custom range of mouthpieces Yamaha have worked along some of the top artists in the world on their instrument, and gained as much of their preferences.
Produced using the most advanced computer design and manufacturing technology, Yamaha Standard Series mouthpieces feature unmatched precision, smooth attack, secure control, and easy playability. They have the ideal weight for all-around usage and are available in over 100 configurations. There’s a Yamaha mouthpiece to suit every player.
(If you're looking for a student trumpet mouthpiece, the TR-11B4 is the most standard and widely used option. The most popular 'step-up' or advanced mouthpiece is the TR-14B4.)
