Brandon Ridenour
Endorsing Artist
"Wedge mouthpieces provide excellent focus for both sound and pitch. This tonal focus makes finding those note "slots" much easier and aiming for those slots becomes much more reliable. Since playing on a Wedge, I have already noticed an improvement in my overall intonation when playing with others. In addition to these characteristics, the Wedge is the most comfortable feeling mouthpiece I have ever played. The contour of the rim feels like it's actually forming to your lips! If all of these assets are something you're searching for, then try out a Wedge!"
Brandon Ridenour – Canadian Brass
Ridenour Signature Mouthpiece
Brandon has his own line of signature Ridenour mouthpieces.
The Ridenour CB is a Wedge version of a Bach 1-1/2C with our new DOC (double oval cup) design. Brandon uses this with a 27 throat and regular weigh ML backbore.
For piccolo trumpet Brandon uses a 5CC with a 27 throat and a M backbore.
For cornet he has a Ridenour Cornet, which has the same rim as the B1.5C trumpet mouthpiece and a DOC cup similar in depth to a Wick B cup.
The Ridenour Flugel has the B1.5 rim and a medium deep DOC flugel cup .
