Introducing the Wedge Pat. Pending

The Wedge is unlike any trumpet, trombone, or French horn mouthpiece you have ever tried before.

You may be completely satisfied with your current mouthpiece, which would actually make me very happy. I would not wish mouthpiece or chop problems on anyone. However, assuming that everything is already working well, how would you like to experience the following?

Benefits of the Wedge Mouthpiece Reported by Players

  • Improved core to the sound in all registers
  • Greater comfort
  • Increased range
  • Better flexibility
  • Better endurance
  • Less lip swelling
  • Better articulation
  • Easier multiple tonguing
  • A more forward focused, closed aperture setup with a cleaner sound
  • A darker, richer lower register on the shallow models in the line
  • Better comfort and better sound if you have braces

 

If this sounds interesting please poke around the web-site a bit, or e-mail or phone with questions. I will personally respond to your message or call. If you would like to learn more from players who have already switched to the Wedge you can read the testimonials from endorsing artists and others.

The Wedge could allow your playing to develop more positively than any equipment change you have ever made before. This is a very different mouthpiece, and we have a very different way of doing business that makes it easy for you to learn if the biomechanics of the rim are a good fit for your particular setup. Are you a "Wedge Responder"? I encourage you to find out.

Sincerely,

Dave Harrison M.D. (Dr Dave)

 

We have taken the risk out of trying a new mouthpiece

Pay for one Wedge and we will send you two mouthpieces to try for two weeks as part of our Size Trial Program. If you like one of them just mail the other back to us. If at the end of two weeks of evaluation the Wedge is not better than your current mouthpiece, and not worth every cent of your purchase price, we would like you to please mail it back to us for a refund and play what works best for you.

How can we make such an offer? We know that if you try the Wedge there is an 80% chance that you will keep it because it is better than any mouthpiece you have ever tried. That is how, after less than two years in business, we are currently selling 50 to 60 mouthpieces a month. It is that simple.

Wedge NEWS

Louis Ranger is our latest endorsing artist.

Lou is playing a custom Wedge with a diameter and cup similar to a Bach1 in two different depths. These will be offered as part of the signature LR line. In addition Lou has a mouthpiece for piccolo trumpet based on a 1.5DCm with a custom rim.

 

Canadian Brass

The latest trombone player to convert to the Wedge is Gene Watts of the Canadian Brass. Gene picked up his Wedge during the recent Canadian Brass tour of British Columbia and has been playing it ever since. Gene joins Brandon Ridenour as the second member of the Canadian Brass to play a Wedge.

"I have no hesitations about recommending the Wedge mouthpiece and, for what it's worth, heartily give the Wedge an enthusiastic 'two thumbs up!' I now have the sizzle that I wanted on the top end, and still have a nice, full lower register. This combination allows me to easily adjust between playing lead, and warm and beautiful solos on my cocktail jazz pieces. I didn't think that one mouthpiece could allow me to play with such varying tonal colors, but this Wedge combination certainly allows me to do it better than with any other mouthpiece that I have tried. I couldn't be happier!"
