Model CL Cup

Originally conceived with a singular purpose: to win auditions.  That means we focused on a few things in the design: a fastidiously clean attack, an expressive response that can transmit every gesture, all while giving a comfortable slot that's harder to chip.

We drew on the best elements of our most recent designs - the upper bowl of the CR for its response and attack clarity and combined it with a more-conic bore and some added depth to sweeten the sound. A moderately conical back bore provides a comfortable slot width.

Taken together, the result a is fantastic all-rounder.  Precise, efficient, flexible, and with a wonderful sound available across the dynamic spectrum, the CL is easy to live with as an everyday mouthpiece.  And it's there for you, from ensembles sized from "just you" all the way to "Alpensinfonie".

#13, medium deep cup.

Praise for the model CL: 

"It’s so balanced it seems impossible. Great colors, super easy to relax into the right articulation on it. It sorta feels wrong for it to be that easy in the middle and upper register and still have that quantity of a sound" - Patrick Walle (Detroit Symphony Assistant Principal)

"CL is amazing! It made today’s two hour brass quintet rehearsal and one hour concert in a four hour span possible"

"Jesus, I'm still playing it and it just WORKS"

"Immediately yes"
