Wedge Hybrid Trumpet Mouthpieces in Raw Brass with Acrylic Cups!

The Wedge Mouthpiece, developed by Dr. Dave Harrison and has a very unique rim and cup design. Looking at the rim, you will notice that it is not flat, it has a slight curve to it, and looking into the cup you will notice that it has a slight oval shape rather than being perfectly round. Dr. Dave used his medical background to match the shape of the mouthpiece to the shape of the teeth and embouchure. He claims that his design leads to improved range, endurance, flexibility, slotting, response, articulation, and more comfort.

Here is what Wedge says about the different mouthpiece options:

665MDV - There is a gap in the Bach sizing between the 1.5C and 5C. The Bach 3C has an intermediate rim diameter, but a shallower cup, and the Bach 3B has a more V shaped cup. The 665MDV is intended to fill that gap with an ID similar to a Bach 3C and a cup depth similar to a Bach 1.5C and 5C.

67MDV 27 -

* Similar to MD cup with a slightly modified V shape at the bottom of the cup meeting to the throat.
* Slightly darker sound and smoother transitions from note to note.
* Excellent choice for an orchestral mouthpiece when a slightly darker sound is desired or for players with a naturally bright sound.
* Our most popular cup for orchestral players.

#27, .144 inch - Standard size for most mouthpieces, best choice for most players

67MDV 25 - 

* Similar to MD cup with a slightly modified V shape at the bottom of the cup meeting to the throat.
* Slightly darker sound and smoother transitions from note to note.
* Excellent choice for an orchestral mouthpiece when a slightly darker sound is desired or for players with a naturally bright sound.
* Our most popular cup for orchestral players.

#25 , .1495 inch - Larger throat for more open blow, choose a #25 throat if your mouthpiece feels stuffy with too much resistance, and you are an advanced player with good breath support

64MV - The 64MV is a very versatile mouthpiece with a small diameter and medium cup depth similar to a Bach 10.5C and Bach 3C, scaled down in diameter. It has a sound brighter than what would be usually desired for orchestral playing, but fits in well in most other playing situations.

65MV - The 65MV is one of our top 10 mouthpieces. It resembles the Bach 10-1/2C and similar mouthpieces, which are underappreciated options for young beginners, and are a much better choice than the much deeper 7C. Being the little brother of the Bach 3C it is a very versatile choice for all round playing. It also works very well for piccolo trumpet.

66MV (Chuck Findley) - The Chuck Findley 66MV plays like a really great 3C, but with a very slightly smaller diameter. The 66MV is the most popular mouthpiece we sell, simply because it works well for many players in many playing situations. This size is the "multitool" of mouthpieces as it is best suited for playing in concert band, wind ensemble, brass quintet, worship groups, jazz, pit and pops settings, and almost anywhere else.

665MV - The 665MV, along with the 66MV, is the Wedge most similar to the Bach 3C. It has a cup depth that is slightly shallower than the Bach 1.5C and Bach 5C, and B7C. It therefore has a slightly brighter sound, and provides more support in the upper register than the 1.5C/5C and Wedge 665MDV. The 665MV is a great all round mouthpiece for a wide variety of applications. It is very well suited to situations where a bit more efficiency and projection is desired, such as concert band, brass quintet, marching, and jazz band.

67MV - The 67MV fills the need for a large diameter mouthpiece with a medium cup depth. The MV cup evolved from our M cup, and has a modified V shape at the bottom of cup leading into throat. This produces a slightly darker sound without sacrificing range.

These mouthpieces look amazing, the raw brass backbore with the tan acrylic cup  is a great pairing. After playing these mouthpieces I can tell you they feel quite comfortable, however if you are used to a flat rim mouthpiece then it will take a short period to get used to.
