Hey JR,
You mentioned ordering through his US dealer Ko — is that K.O. from Stomvi?
Thanks!


Josh Landress is mentioned as a US dealer.

Good Morning!

No, it's not. It's Ko de Rooij, of "Balanced-Embouchure". He was my middle man for Dimitri for most of the exchanges, although Dimitri did email me a couple times to work out with me exactly what I was looking for. His contact is: ko@balanced-embouchure.eu

All the best, Jr

Hi all,

Great to read such enthusiasm for Donat's mouthpieces! I instantly liked them as well, which is why I became a dealer.

Thanks for the kind words, Jr!

If you trust his chart the TOUVRON who is a 165 would be in the 7C diameter range.


The Touvron is actually mentioned as a 167 diameter, but feels slightly larger, close to the 168D, which is another great mouthpiece that Dimitri makes. Both are closer to a Bach 5 diameter than to a 7.

For more information, you can download some .pdf files on my website:

http://www.balanced-embouchure.eu/donat-mouthpieces/models.html

Both the Touvron and the 168D are very good allround mouthpieces, the Touvron being a bit darker, the 168D a bit brighter.

I recently added two video's on my website, with Huug Steketee, longtime principal trumpet of The Hague Philharmonic, playing his Donat 168D Classic mouthpiece on piccolo trumpet, which I hope you'll enjoy.

I got my 170C with a massive blank and a cornet mouthpiece with a deep cup a month ago and i believe i am sold. I was looking for a Monette to match the piece i already have for my C-trumpet, but this was both much cheaper and made in the EU so i didn't have to import.

The trumpet mouthpiece has a comfortable rim. Rounder inner edge compared to a Monette. I can imagine that some prefer i bit more bite, but for me this is great. I actually haven't had anyone listen and do a proper A/B test yet, but from where i am sitting the sound is good aswell. Quite powerful tone and clear attacks.

I had a conversation by mail with Dmitri and he was kind enough to make a cornet mouthpiece with an identical rim as the trumpet piece to make it easier to switch inbetween. That piece is also great.

On their website, they describe the short shank as :

Quote:
• Short shank → Better pressure lips control → More endurance

Monette seems to imply more "scientifics/physics" explanations.

Do you think the Monette idea can apply to both brand (shork shank) even if the explanation is different ?

Sorry, I found this old post. A friend advised me to try the Donat 169C. Anyone have experience with this mouthpiece? How does it compare with the Bach 3C?

I had a 169C-J (slight modification to the 169C to make it more suited for jazz) from Donat. It was a fantastic mouthpiece, but just a little too big for me. I think it's similar to a 3C, maybe a bit bigger, so more like a vintage 3C. I thought it played much better than a traditional Bach 3C: a tone that was more complex, improved intonation, and a good feeling on the face.

Talking to this friend of mine the 169C feels slightly smaller than the Bach 3C. He says the edge is less sharp. The sound is definitely different from the Bach 3C. However, the approach is very different from Bach 3C. According to him, the sound is unmatched. He suggested that I wait at least 20/25 days to acclimatize. I'd like to try it.

Hi Mauri,

If you're interested, I have the 169C in stock, both in Classic blank and Massive blank, silver plated.

I'm interested to know how it sounds compared to modern bach 3c.
I am particularly interested in knowing if they have a "warm" sound. Because I read somewhere that they sound rather cold, "tinny, metallic"

Sound warm, slightly dark, shines on the high notes, very comfortable, I play it for hours without problems. I had a Monette B4S3 and sold it, I much prefer the Donat 169C

I get lost in their web site, Can anyone point me to the equivalent of a Bach 5/6 C and a description? Thanks.

Here's his comparision chart:
https://www.donat-mouthpiece.com/en/modele/comparison-chart-trumpet/

I use a Donat flugelhorn mouthpiece (170 alpha, what Thomann carries...) and though it took me some time to accomodate to it, I won't change now. Great mouthpiece and I will order and get some of the similar trumpet mouthpieces when the autumn comes.

Towards a 5/6 C I would suggest the Touvron or 165C, the Touvron being a bit larger in diameter with a slightly shallower cup than the 165C. Donat C cups are typically a bit deeper than Bach C cups. I have both in stock, see below.
