This is Nakamura, Kubo Tube.
This time, I would like to introduce a mouthpiece, "Patrick", which has recently become a hot topic.
Steve Patrick is an American super studio musician.
First of allMaynard Ferguson's "Give it One" coverPlease enjoy the following.

He has performed game/film music, numerous albums, and thousands of recording sessions in all genres, as well as many classical and orchestral collaborations,Superman, who can do anything in high quality.He is a superman who can do anything with high quality.
The mission of the Patrick mouthpiece is to make it easy for the player to express what he or she has in mind, and to make no compromises in sound or playability when switching between musical genres.
When I saw this description, it made a lot of sense. Patrick mouthpieces are developed around a two-piece specification, but they are designed to meet the needs of all music scenes these days, I thought.
I will now move on to the product description.
To be honest, it is quite hard to cover all of them because the lineup is so diverse. We will focus on the main products.
(Colored letters are Nakamura's impression.)
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
●Commercial Series
This is Patrick's main model.
This model is rooted in the old Jet Tone, with slightly more resistance, better endurance, better projection, and more stable treble. 3 different rims to choose from. (see below)
Can be made in one-piece or two-piece, but according to Patrick, for the Commercial Series, two-piece is recommended.The back boa matches the CM. A slightly more open opening, Z or CL, may be preferred.
For one-piece specifications, CM is the standard.
The back bore is tight, but not too tight, but not too much, and gives a good resistance.
There are two types of cup depths, M and S.
The M is also reasonably shallow, so many people choose this type.
S is recommended if you routinely use a shallow mouthpiece and are required to play in extreme situations.
There are three rim shapes to choose from.
FR (flat rim)
Flat rim. The rim has a high point in the middle or slightly inward, which prevents the lips from entering the cup.
Many of our customers choose FR rims.
RR (Round rim)
The widest rim. Cushion-like rounded rim, similar to Jet Tone's C rim. The high point is slightly inward, making it difficult for the lips to enter the cup.
Those who like the EM model tend to prefer the RR rim.
CR (Comfort Rim)
A rim that is narrower than the above two. This rim provides more cushioning and higher support than the Classical Series rim. The rim has a high point on the inside and may feel slightly smaller.
Recommended for those who are familiar with the Bach rim and want a little more cushioning. We recommend choosing one size larger.
loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
●Classical Series
Based on the vintage back, Patrick's standard model has been brushed up for a comfortable rim and excellent operability.
All models are impressive for their fullness of sound, excellent operability, and clear articulation. It is especially revolutionary that even with the smaller mouthfeel of 5C, 7C, and 10-1/2C, the 3C-equivalent cup design keeps the sound compact and rich in tone.
The rim has a slightly softer mouthfeel than the back, but it is a rounded rim that will fit in well with most people.
It can be made in either one-piece or two-piece, but according to Patrick, one-piece is recommended for the Classical Series. For two-piece,CL or CLP backboards are a good match.
For one-piece, CL is the standard specification.
About the back bore
Commercial (CM): Tightest taper with a long straight section and slow opening.
Z (Z): Slightly slower opening than classic (taper angle is the same as classic)
Classic (CL): standard opening backboards.
Classic Plus (CLP): fastest opening, thickest back bore.
Most of our Commercial Series top buyers choose the CM backboa.
For those who want a little more freedom and spread, choose the Z back bore, and for those who want a shallow cup and a spread that can accommodate the Classic, choose the CL or CLP.
Backbores for piccolo trumpets can also be custom-ordered.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
The above is Patrick's basic lineup.
...What, you can't remember them all?
They are good mouthpieces, so even if you don't know what they are, please give them a try.
You can try it in our store or call us for a consultation.
