Wedge at Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Lead trumpet Mike Herriott used a Wedge mouthpiece for performing the music of the Olympic opening ceremonies and for recording all of the official Olympic music.
Dave Reid of the Calgary Philharmonic used as Wedge trombone mouthpiece as well.
"The Wedge, for all it's unconventional rim characteristics, felt comfortable right from the get-go. It seems to have a 'grip' that I have not found in other mouthpieces, and along with that seems to come an added degree of flexibility. It feels good and I love the sound... full at the bottom and crisp at the top. There's always something new under the sun!"
