The Wedge Mouthpiece Pat. Pending
Trumpet, Cornet, Flugelhorn, French Horn, Trombone, Tuba
The Wedge is the most efficient mouthpiece available today.
There are many excellent trumpet mouthpieces on the market, and although they each have their own characteristics, most are simply subtle variations on a 100 year old model. The Wedge is a new concept in mouthpiece construction, with a proven biomechanical advantage over conventional designs.
Simply put, the Wedge rim gets the metal out of the way of your face so that your embouchure can do what you ask it to do. This is why players are describing the Wedge as the greatest innovation in brass wind technology in decades. There are no magical properties, no secrets, and no gimmicks here. You select a size similar to your current equipment and play it just like any other mouthpiece. The only difference is the results you will get.

So why has every brass player not tried a Wedge?
For one reason we have only been around a few years, and really new ideas are often slow to catch on. Here are some typical objections to trying a Wedge, none of which are based on fact. Click on each myth to see it busted.
“Brass mouthpieces are symmetrical, flat and round for a good reason".
"The Wedge is the same as the old oval designs from the early nineteen hundreds"
“If it is not broken, don’t fix it".
“The Wedge is a cheater mouthpiece. The answer if you want to play better is to practice more".
“If I try the Wedge it might mess up my chops forever".
“There are no working professionals using a Wedge".
“It is too expensive compared to other mouthpieces".
“I can’t afford to buy another mouthpiece that will just end up in the drawer".
Have you heard these objections before, or thought them yourself?
These ideas are common, but not based in reality. Here is the bottom line from the links listed above.
Traditional designs are mostly based on ...Tradition
The truth is that traditional mouthpieces are shaped the way they are because of tradition, not by design. There have been some improvements, but they are subtle. Even if your regular mouthpiece is working well, why not try something that could significantly elevate your playing from the level you currently enjoy? Unless you are into vintage automobiles, would you choose to drive a Model T?
Practice and play the same way with better results
You play the Wedge like any other mouthpiece, only the results are different, and you will not mess up your chops by trying it. There is no substitute for practice, but the Wedge will make the most of the time invested.
Use the appropriate Wedge for any time of playing
The Wedge is a legitimate, all round mouthpiece. After 3 years in business the Wedge is already being used by several hundred players including amateurs, working pros, and college professors for everything from lead to orchestral playing.

"There aren't any instant fixes and magic mouthpieces that can make you play an octave higher instantly. But, when a mouthpiece makes playing so much easier and fun, you simply want to spend more time on the horn to get better. For me, the Wedge experience has been awesome."
