What matters in use
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 01
The shank taper is cut for flugelhorn receivers. A trumpet mouthpiece jammed in with an adapter never seats properly.
Detail 02
Lower numbers are larger in this range, so a 3 is roomier than a 4 or 5.
Detail 03
Feels slightly grippier and cooler on the lip than gold plating, and shows wear more visibly over time.
Detail 04
Sizing is consistent across their range, so moving to a 4 later is a predictable step, not a guess.
Detail 05
Mid-priced for a flugelhorn mouthpiece. Cheaper than a horn upgrade and it moves the sound more.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
It is cut with a flugelhorn shank, but shank tapers differ between makers. Check your horn's receiver size against this piece before buying.
No. The shank taper is for flugelhorn receivers and will not seat correctly in a trumpet or cornet.
Lower numbers are larger in this range, so the 3 has a roomier cup than a 4. Larger cups take more air to fill.
It is a feel and skin preference, not a quality difference. Silver runs slightly grippier and cooler; some players react to it and choose gold instead.
