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
