R-Series Rims

Our standard rim profile - neither too sharp nor too flat with a focus on excellent flexibility and all-day comfort.  A rim that truly disappears as you play it.

Overall a very neutral design with a nice smooth curve on the playing surface and a traditional middle-of-the-road cushion.  The most common response to trying one is to remark on it's comfort and ease of response.

In addition to the inner contour, we've paid attention to the outer contour as well, offering a grip surface for einsetzen and hybrid players.  (If you're looking for more grip, both on the bite and the outer contour - look to the RIm E)

Titanium is hypoallergenic, and with no coatings to wear out these are truly "forever" rims at just 5.5 grams.  Added bonus - Titanium is 20x less heat conductive than brass so you don't get as much of that "cold mouthpiece on the face" feeling.

While there is no one-size-fits-all, the numbers speak for themselves; this is by far our most popular rim and very few of them come back during the 30 day return window.  They're also played in the Met Opera, Hollywood recording studios & the Dallas Symphony.

We support our musicians; if you're playing one of our rims and need / want one in plated brass or stainless steel we're able to accommodate - please reach out.
