8) CONTOUR-SHAPE - in general, most good reeds wind up having the same thickness, contour and shape (i.e. with respect to a single mouthpiece)

Dave Houser ece world are Stainless Steel and Titanium. They are relatively rare, being produced by very few manufacturers. Stainless Steel and Titanium mouthpieces hold many advantages to the classic brass mouthpiece, including much more density (meaning a much more centered feel and sound, as Stainless Steel and Titanium do not absorb as many vibrations as brass), they require much less care, etc. but they are much more expensive (Titanium mouthpieces run up to about $400 each).

Mouthpiece usually refers to the part of an object which comes near or in contact with one’s mouth during use, such as the mouthpiece of a smoking pipe, telephone or musical instrument.

Mouthpiece H is an old French Besson (there is also an English Besson); I is the famous Arban’s cornet mouthpiece; J is a modern mouthpiece of the former first trumpet of the Chicago Symphony, Mr. Llewellyn; K is the cornet mouthpiece of the renowned Jules Levy. It is interesting to compare these. Note especially the varying shapes of the backbores of G and H and the varying cups of I and K as
In order to clarify the situation, let us first identify the parts of a mouthpiece so that we may have a ready vocabulary. Figure A [to the left] shows a trumpet mouthpiece that has been cut in half. No. 1 is the rim, the convex [i.e., curving outward, the outside of a bell] portion of the upper part of the mouthpiece. No. 2 is the cup, the concave [i.e., curving inward, the inside of a bell] portion as viewed from above, which is located just below the rim. No. 3 is the shoulder of the throat, a convex surface as viewed from above, blending the cup into the throat.

A fine instrument will dampen and filter out most of the unwanted elements of the sound while adding resonance to the desirable qualities of the vibrating string. The point is made to enable a sober, no-nonsense grasp of just how a saxophone/clarinet tone is produced:s pressed onto the wood. It is achieved by shaping the wax between thumb and forefinger as it is applied.

This is how you want the top edge of the mouthpiece to look like.

Similarly you don’t want to play a didj with such a deformed hole violin as a complete system, in truth all of the sound is produced by, and-only-by, the string. No matter what the fiddle sounds like - mellow, strident, warm, shrill, etc.Mouthpiece -

Invariably, a discussion among brass experts starts with an expression that such and such a mouthpiece is the best, the poorest, or the producer of best results for one particular player. The argument that follows is mainly based on conjecture. Very seldom are the opinions or “conclusions” backed by sound reality or scientific evidence.
Obviously, such a mouthpiece is best suited to a player who tends to use more than ordinary pressure or who plays for long stretches of time as is the case with dance band players.

Experimental evidence and experience suggest that the higher the inner portion of the rim, as shown in D, the more accurate the attack is in both pianissimo and fortissimo playing. However, flexibility is sacrificed somewhat thereby. As the inner edge or “bite” becomes rounded, as in F, the more difficult becomes the attacks, but the greater is the flexibility.

Let us consider the cup next. A desirable cup for all-around performance is shown in A. If precision of attack is the major requisite, the cup shown in Figure M [to the left] is preferable. This cup produces a stridency of tone that is piercing. It is important that a cup of this shape have a high shoulder at the throat (No. 3 in A) so that the shoulder becomes more convex and less like a second cup, or duo-cup.
