Cornett Mouthpieces

Resin mouthpieces

NDA mouthpiece: (acorn type) JW's recommendation This mouthpiece will be appropriate to non trumpet players and to trumpet players who wish to try something that's more historically appropriate than the bigger cup TTL
inside dia:14.4 ~ depth:5.5 ~ outside dia:18.0    rim width: 1.96

NDA or TTL? if you are unsure about this, take the NDA. Historically it is more correct than the larger TTL which really is a compromise trumpet type mouthpiece to help serious trumpet player to feel at home on the cornett. If you are a serious trumpet player but wish to try something more "authentic" then you would do well to consider taking both mouthpieces: order one as included in the price and then add the other as an extra. For the small additional cost you will have the luxury then of being able to find your way without pressure.


​TTL mouthpiece: (trumpet type)

This mouthpiece will be of most interest to trumpet players who are keen to start playing the cornett but who feel anxious about interfering with the their trumpet embouchure

inside dia:17.0 ~ depth:10.7 ~ outside dia:23.4   rim width: 3.15
Hand-made mouthpieces in horn
(measurements in mm will vary between individual mouthpieces)

JW acorn mouthpiece
for use in a wooden cornetto this mouthpiece may also be used in a resin instrument but needs a shorter shank (please specify when ordering)

dia:13.9 ~ depth:10.0 ~ outside dia:17.5 ~ rim width: 2.0 to 2.2mm

Mouthpiece as played by Jeremy West. Helps to produce a vocal and rounded sound. This mouthpiece is sometimes called a "pastry cutter" (very thin rim)!  The advantage of a thin rim over a wide rim is clarity of articulation. The disadvantage is more stress on the lips.
TTM mouthpiece
This mouthpiece will be of interest to the trumpet player who is ready to take cornett playing to a higher level. Thinner rimmed and rather shallower than the TTL this mouthpiece aids a focussed and vocal sound


dia:13.8 ~ depth:7.0 ~ outside dia:21.8 ~ rim width: 3.0
