Flugelhorn mouthpieces that require the 'French Taper' shank (e.g. Couesnon, F. Besson, others) are made in the original FLG body design.
Classic & Prana Internal Configurations
- Prana mouthpieces allow for the most resonant sound, most effortless playing, and most consistent pitch and timbre
- Classic mouthpieces can feel more forgiving for players who tend to play with a tighter physical approach, or who are accustomed to a non-Monette mouthpiece
Flugelhorn mouthpieces have deep, V-shaped cups and are available with many different rims.

'French Taper' Flugelhorn Mouthpieces
Monette mouthpieces are made-to-order and usually will not be available as ready-made stock. The standard estimated wait time to have a trumpet mouthpiece made is approximately 6-8 weeks. Mouthpieces for flugelhorn are likely to involve a longer wait time because they are not made as often as trumpet mouthpieces. The exact wait time is unpredictable, as it is affected by many variables, including the time at which the order is placed, relative to our mouthpiece maker's next round of flugelhorn mouthpiece production. We cannot guarantee a completion date or shipping date in advance. Thank you very much for your patience while you are waiting.
