It is a wood that is used to produce a warmer, sweeter sound when blown softly.

If you blow louder, it sounds louder and meaner.

The TurboWood mouthpiece has a larger capacity for loud playing than the same mouthpiece in Brass, Bronze, or Nickel Silver. In other words, the Turbo Wood has a greater "maximum capacity" for volume output.

Performing in extreme temperatures, such as at an outdoor concert in winter. You don't feel cold even in extreme cold. Or players who want a warmer tone or a louder volume.

Is oil or lacquer treatment required?

No, we do not. The patented material we use is very dense, as is our brass, bronze, and nickel silver,CNClathes, just like our brass, bronze, and nickel silver. We are3have field tested the mouthpieces for over a year and have seen no signs of age-related deterioration. However, each mouthpiece is lightly polished with beeswax to give the wood a sheen. We recommend a thin coat of beeswax every six months or so. The color of the wood may change slightly, but the surface texture will not.

Will the wood crack? Is it easily scratched?

Due to the density of the material and design, the mouthpiece will not crack under normal use. However, any action that would cause damage with a brass mouthpiece will scratch it as well.

How do I care for it?

Do not use soap and water! Dry mouthpiece swabs and brushes only. Store in a dry mouthpiece pouch.
