This mouthpiece offers a very wide range of sounds. Compared to the standard XL cup, it has a brighter, slightly less warm, and more exciting sound, making it much easier to access the higher registers. The standard XL is designed to achieve the soft, rounded articulation required for delicate classical playing and mellow jazz playing. However, the XL2 opens up the articulation and produces a punchier sound, making it an ideal choice for jazz and classical players who want to shine in a band setting.

This cup offers an incredibly rich tonal range. When played softly, it possesses the rich, warm tone expected of a deep cup. What's truly astonishing is the exhilarating and powerful sound it produces when you step on the gas. With this mouthpiece, you can go from a whispered "I love you" dipped in dark chocolate to a monster-roaring "High G" that leaps over the ensemble. Its versatility is phenomenal and will greatly expand the range of your artistic expression. And Adam Rappa's most frequently used mouthpiece is this XL2.

For classical musicians, it is ideal for the following uses:
Wind band
・20th-century and modern repertoire
- Demanding pieces like "Alpine Symphony" or "Pines of Rome" / Mahler...etc.
American repertoire / Gershwin...etc.
• Film music / John Williams…etc.
Whenever you need special assistance to produce high notes while maintaining a rich tone.

For jazz musicians
Because you can easily hit the notes you intend, you'll be able to play improvisations with confidence. The wide range of tones makes it much easier to express nuances and character. Using this mouthpiece, you can add individuality and depth to your sound.

If you enjoy playing with a deep cup mouthpiece but sometimes want the same exciting sound as a C cup, this mouthpiece is for you. It enriches ballad playing and adds power to bebop lines and high notes. If you're looking for that kind of sound, why not give this mouthpiece a try?

Our newly designed L-cup will completely surpass the C-cups of other companies!

This mouthpiece is sought after by everyone from classical and jazz superheroes to beginners. It's ideal for many players who prefer 1-1/4C to 7C. Everyone who plays it is instantly captivated by its brilliant, colorful sound and autopilot-like, clear intonation. It effortlessly produces everything from sweet whispers to terrifying screams, from majestic to unpleasant tones. (More and more classical and jazz stars are using this mouthpiece! See the artists' pages for more details.)

The biggest difference when comparing it to cups of comparable quality from other manufacturers is that the high register becomes incredibly open and easy to play. Classical musicians will no longer need to switch to shallower cups to play harder pieces or piccolo trumpet. Improvisational musicians will be able to confidently tackle difficult phrases.

Making your life and ours this much easier was an extremely time-consuming and, frankly, extremely expensive effort, but we succeeded. You're going to love this mouthpiece, and from the moment you play that first note, you'll never want to go back to your old C-cup again.

Like the L, the L2 is equivalent to a C cup from other manufacturers. It's ideal for jazz and commercial players who want maximum power in the high frequencies and an overall clearer, punchier performance, at the expense of a little warmth and breadth in sound.

The characteristics become even more pronounced with the nickel silver material; this mouthpiece is like a devilish twin compared to a regular L-cup... In other words, when you step on the accelerator, it transforms into a mouthpiece that slices through the band like a flamethrower.

If you're the type who plays lead on a 3C, or if you're a jazz soloist who needs a little help when playing aggressive solos, you'll probably love this mouthpiece. You'll notice the biggest difference, especially with the nickel silver material.

If you're a classical musician and you're looking for maximum pop sensibility in your articulation, try this cup for a clear and distinct sound even in slurred lines.
Choosing brass ensures a perfectly uniform blend within the section. Bronze, on the other hand, restores the warmth and tonal range that was lacking compared to L-cups, while also enhancing sonic certainty and security.

Have you ever wished you could achieve a brilliant, beautiful sound—soft yet full-bodied? Achieve a rich and full sound across the entire range, while playing dazzling, sparkling high-note phrases that elicit a "Wow!"—something you can't get with a C-cup mouthpiece. This mouthpiece makes that possible.

You'll truly understand the value of this mouthpiece when you experience how much easier it makes playing in the high register.

This is perfect for classical musicians who want a slightly juicier sound when playing pieces like West Side Story, or for anyone who wants to play the piccolo with ease. It's also ideal for trumpet heroes or anyone who wants to stand out in the second line parade on the streets of New Orleans.

Furthermore, it can be used by lead players accustomed to shallower cups who want to add depth to their sound without sacrificing its beautiful brilliance in solo performances or parts requiring a milder sound. The backbore is designed to further thicken the tone, achieving a sound similar to a C-cup while being almost as shallow as a D-cup.

This cup is a crossroads for cups with various tonal characteristics, so we have prepared three different materials. Nickel silver enhances its brilliance, bronze adds warmth and richness for a deeper sound, and brass sits somewhere in between.

Unlike the multi-purpose M-cup, the M2 has only one purpose! Everyone calls it a "killer."

This new model replaces the M-cup and is designed to meet the demands of players seeking a more fiery, aggressive sound. It is particularly intended for lead, studio, and commercial playing. Compared to the M-cup, this mouthpiece is slightly shallower, has a slightly tighter throat, a different backbore design, and is only available in nickel silver, all of which contribute to its powerful sound.

It produces a sound closer to a reed mouthpiece than an M-cup, but with more volume than a typical reed cup, making it ideal for players who struggle to play a reed mouthpiece. It's also perfect for playing high-note ballads in big bands, as well as songs requiring low and mid-range tones. Compared to a reed mouthpiece, it offers richer nuances, allowing you to create a more musical lead sound within a band.

It's also an excellent tool for playing pop music and commercial jingles. If your work involves clear, full-bodied articulation like armor-piercing rounds, or hitting difficult phrases with precision, then give it a try. This is the mouthpiece you've been looking for.

Do you know that old saying? "The ultimate reed mouthpiece! It expands your range. It produces a fantastic, loud sound!"
The word "ultimate" is highly subjective, but this mouthpiece may come very close to achieving that.

Despite its shallow cup, this mouthpiece produces an astonishingly rich tone across a wide range, from high notes to low F#. This is the kind of reed mouthpiece many people want to hear... Each note sparkles like fireworks, yet the sound is robust and full-bodied.

The true strength of this mouthpiece lies in its ability to produce a remarkably clear sound during lead playing and high-pitched solos, especially during calmer passages. However, that's only until you step on the gas and unleash a flamethrower-like sound. The sheer volume of the sound at that point will have your bandmates cheering. Be prepared!

An extremely shallow cup and a laser-beam-like focus.

For players who know how to drive a small sports car like this, there's nothing more fun than playing extreme lead. You can even use it for extremely demanding gigs, like salsa performances lasting over three hours. (It might feel like cheating, but don't worry, you're making a smart choice!)

While the S cup can still produce a beautiful sound, the XS cup says, "Begone's beauty! This is war!"
In the battle between the limits of the average human and a sound like an immortal high-pitched machine, this mouthpiece will give you the ultimate shot to victory.

By unleashing flames at mezzo-forte, you can achieve incredible endurance. Leave the volume to the microphone. Those who have the bell pointed at them may be out of luck, as they will suffer damage equivalent to being hit by a shotgun when you blow into it at forte!

Please be careful, this mouthpiece is addictive.

A very deep flugelhorn cup

If you're looking for the fullest, darkest, and creamiest flugelhorn sound, this is the one. This is exactly what flugelhorn soloists have always dreamed of. It extracts a whole new level of sound with depth and richness from high-end horns and breathes new life into inexpensive instruments that you may have left neglected since your student days.

With traditional deep cups, the high register becomes very flat, and some people may have found that their "High C" was almost a semitone off. Therefore, they were forced to choose between forcing control or simply not playing high notes at all. However, this cup completely eliminates that problem. High Cs and Ds in the high register are tuned effortlessly, and those with the skill and motivation can produce even higher notes.

This mouthpiece is like magic... I've never seen a mouthpiece before that offers such a deep cup, such a wide sound, and such uncompromising intonation. Plus, it has the innovative feature of allowing you to choose your preferred tone from brass or bronze!

Standard depth cup of a flugelhorn

This mouthpiece delivers the quintessential, classic flugelhorn sound that many people associate with the instrument, making it suitable for all types of playing, from wind ensembles to jazz and classical solos. It's an optimized version of a cup style that's very familiar to many.

The biggest difference is that it accurately reproduces the pitch you want, regardless of the register. You can get a rich, buttery tone and surprisingly easy intonation, even in the high register.
Brass wood produces a more traditional sound, while bronze wood offers a more modern, denser tone; you can choose either.
