Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The silver SM2U is a large-shank Steven Mead Ultra Series euphonium mouthpiece developed with Steven Mead. Its added outer mass is intended to increase projection, while the revised cup combines funnel- and bowl-style elements. A slightly sharper inner rim edge is designed to improve response and flexibility, especially in the upper register. For the SM2U, the stated dimensions are a 27 mm cup, 6.30 mm rim, 7.30 mm throat, and V-type backbore.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Euphonium playing that needs added support and response, particularly when working in the upper register.
