Our Mouthpiece Models

Here we present a portfolio showcasing our cornetto mouthpiece designs, inspired by historical originals. These models have been carefully adjusted to align with modern-day requirements for both sound aesthetics and functionality while preserving the timbre and character of their historical counterparts.

Sprezzatura

Sprezzatura stands as our primary mouthpiece choice for everyday playing. It delivers a well-balanced tone and articulation, ensuring a comfortable flow and stability. Inspired by famous mouthpiece by C. F. Paulus, Neukirchen (18th or 19th century), also known as Basel private collection mouthpiece.

Derived from the original Paulus mouthpiece from a private collection in Basel, the Sprezzatura features a stem prolonged to approximately 18.5mm with a 1:10 cone, offering a general fit for most modern cornetts. The borehole has been reduced to 3mm, complemented by an added cylindrical part in the backbore to stabilize airflow. The backbore cone is strategically focused on the player's lips, and a ventury cone has been introduced at the transition between the cup and backbore to minimize the swirling sound of the air. The overall diameter is reduced compared to the original Paulus mouthpiece, achieved by removing 0.5mm from the top of the cup, resulting in a more stabilized tone.
