Detail 01
Mouthpiece puller
Pulls the shank straight out under controlled force instead of twisting or tapping, which is what bends receivers and dents leadpipes.

BobcatMouthpiece Puller
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A tool for removing a stuck mouthpiece from a brass instrument without damaging it. Repair-bench equipment, not a daily accessory.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Band directors dealing with stuck student mouthpieces regularly
- Repair techs and shops servicing brass instruments
- Schools that would rather not pay per-visit removal fees
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- A player who has never had a mouthpiece stick
- Anyone needing it once — a shop can do it for less
- Woodwind players; this is a brass tool
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
$54.99
Priced as a tool you keep, not a consumable. Pays off if you're removing mouthpieces more than a couple of times.
Detail 03
Mechanical, no power needed
Works anywhere — band room, pit, back of the truck — with no bench, vise, or electricity.
Detail 04
Brass tool, not player gear
Lives in a repair kit or director's office rather than an individual player's case.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm it fits your instrument's receiver size before ordering

- 03A badly seized mouthpiece may still need a repair tech
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Why not just pull it out by hand?
A stuck mouthpiece is wedged by friction. Hand-pulling and twisting flexes the receiver and leadpipe, which is how a stuck mouthpiece turns into a repair bill.
02Does it work on trumpet and trombone?
Mouthpiece pullers are made for brass receivers generally, but shank sizes differ across instruments. Check that the size range covers the horns you'll be working on.
03Is this worth it for one player?
Usually not. A repair shop removes a stuck mouthpiece for far less than the tool costs. It makes sense for directors, techs, and schools handling it often.
04Can I damage the instrument with it?
It applies straight pull rather than twisting, which is the safe direction. Force it on a badly seized or corroded mouthpiece and you can still cause damage.
