O.D.: 1.575"
Bore: .266"
Cup: Shallow Bowl


"The Demondrae Model baritone mouthpiece is one of a kind! I am able to play with the type of brilliant tone that it is a cornerstone of the British-style brass band. This mouthpiece also allows me to play much better in tune. Lastly, it has a rim that isn't too small which has always been my struggle with baritone horn mouthpieces. So if you're like I am and play euphonium in addition to baritone horn, I can't encourage you enough to give this mouthpiece a try."


Demondrae Bass Trumpet
I.D.: 1.030"
O.D.: 1.575"
Bore: .266"
Cup: Shallow, V-style


"The Demondrae bass trumpet mouthpiece is amazing. Because I use the bass trumpet exclusively in symphony orchestra, I need to be able to match the sound concepts of any group that asks me to play. I am able to play the extremes of the dynamic range and my sound remains focused. I also feel that with this mouthpiece, I'm able to play notes on the 5th and 10th partials more in tune because those notes are typically very low on the bass trumpet. Because I don't play this horn often, I needed a mouthpiece that will be reliable: I now I have it."
