Hello,
Anyone tried these new brass band mouthpieces ?

Interesting!

Unfortunate that there's not a 14 diameter - at least, yet.

Very, very interesting, but first I have heard of them.

Take care and best wishes

Hello Crazy Finn, the 14 Yamaha diameter will be released one month after I buy one with the 16 diameter. So later I will want to sell the one with the 16 diameter XD.

I see on Yamaha Canada these mouthpieces are posted, including some marketing info

The flatter rim described would be nice as my main tpt mp is a Hammond 4ML

Anyone test these out yet?

The Bb designs could be interesting, it's a market that seems to be opening up as more and more are willing to use things that aren't Wick's.

The specs on the sop pieces are bizarre, though... Keeping the 16E rim size and profile is pretty big already, I know almost nobody who plays sop on anything that big - to then think the logical extension of the range is to go even wider is really losing the plot, if you ask me.

At any rate, it'll be interesting to see if they gain any traction! (And how they play, if I come across them!).
