Custom Mouthpipe and Schlossberg
Today we made a Osmun Bb Mouthpipe for a Kanstul Piccolo Trumpet. This is a pipe we do not normally stock, but can make up anytime. Like most of the Osmun Piccolo Trumpet Mouthpipes, you can move slightly more air through the pipe and into the horn, making the blow feel more trumpet-like. Also, you can move away from the lighter “toy trumpet” sound much easier with our pipes. An easier blow with less back pressure usually leads to greater endurance.
(The Schlossberg Daily Drills was a great backdrop for this photo, not to mention a great book)

I’ve heard nothing but good things about Kanstul Trumpets. Are the Piccolo trumpets as highly though of as Bb models? Also, had heard there is some sort of relationship between Kanstul and Besson, though have never really gotten the details on that.
kind regards,
