Uncommon Rims for Bb Trumpet

Uncommon Rims for Bb trumpet

Classic Resonance & Prana Resonance (standard-weight & lightweight)

 

These are some uncommon rims that aren't commonly recommended, but will work great for some players.

 

Rim/Cup Options:

*Cups for each rim are listed from shallow to deep

 

  • B5 Rim - Very similar in size to a conventional 3C, with a somewhat sharp 'bite' on the inside edge
    • B5 - older-style standard-depth cup with a somewhat funneled contour
    • B5 FL - deep V 'Flumpet' cup

 

  • B5L Rim - The same size as the B5 rim, but contoured for lead trumpet playing
    • B5L S1 - Quite shallow, lead cup depth
    • B5LD S1 - Semi-shallow 'deeper lead' cup depth

 

  • B7F Rim - Very similar to the rim size of a convention 7C
    • B7F - standard-depth cup that is slightly smaller and more V-shaped than a conventional 7C
    • B7F FL - deep V 'Flumpet' cup

 

  • B8 Rim - comparable to the size of a conventional 10-1/2C
    • B8 - standard-depth cup
    • B8 FL - deep V 'Flumpet' cup

 

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

 

Weight:

  • Mouthpieces with standard-depth or deeper cups are usually made in the standard-weight Resonance body.
  • Mouthpieces with shallower 'lead' cups are made in the lightweight Resonance LT body.
  • If you feel that you need a non-standard weight, just add a note to your order during checkout.

 

Plating & Finish:

Classic mouthpieces have a shiny, buffed 24k gold finish

Prana mouthpieces have a brushed 24k gold finish

  • 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. Less common sizes are likely to involve a longer wait time. The exact wait time is unpredictable, as it is affected by many variables. We cannot guarantee a completion date or shipping date in advance. Thank you very much for your patience while you are waiting.
