Rim E

Ti Es are fully back in stock!

Now offered in half sizes 17.5, 17.75 & 18.  We found that these sizes work best for this style of rim though; the pronounced bite of this rim makes a wider size range tricky, but it also amplifies the differences in sizes.

A new offering designed for Einsetzen players - ie those who play "in the red" or specifically those use their lips to grab the outer rim surface to form their embouchure. However, these aren't just for Einsetzen players; they're a good general-purpose, articulate rim for players that like a thin, responsive geometry and don't need / want a lot of cushion.

The origin story of this rim is an offshoot of a bunch of custom duplication work I got in all at once - all einsetzen players from major symphony players looking for a copy or a small tweak to their favorite rim..  Rims in hand for molding and it struck me; they were incredibly similar.  Every one of them was somewhere between 17.5mm and 18mm, every one had a high outer grip surface, a sharper inner bite and every player told me something to the effect of "I'm so glad you're able to do this I haven't been able to find a suitable replacement in years".

This is the result of a blend of these ideas.  It has a narrow high point, rounded curve throughout the surface, a relatively sharp inner bite for clarity, and a high outer grip.  They're incredibly easy to grip for einsetzen players & ansetzen players looking for an accurate, articulate rim will enjoy them as well.
