A brilliant, articulate mouthpiece delivering sweet high notes and precise slotting for European horn players.
The Laskey Classic J Series European shank French horn mouthpiece in silver offers an immediate, sweet tone perfect for soloing. Its shallow, conical shape provides brilliant articulation across the horn's range so you can execute precise note changes and create clear melodic lines. The rounded rim has a peak towards the inner edge for comfort and control. The J Series mouthpiece comes with a European shank to fit most European made and styled horns and is available in silver plate finish.
Quick Response for Soloing
The J Series mouthpiece's shallow cup gives you a fast, articulate response that's ideal for the technical demands of soloing. Its shape encourages full, open sound with enough bite to cut through the mix. The focused tone and lightning-quick note transitions mean you can throw off rapid sixteenth-note runs or toss in ornaments with ease.
Sweet, Controlled Timbre
While enabling dexterous technique, this mouthpiece also produces a warm, rounded timbre. Its design provides a balanced tone that fills out the French horn's sonic space with richness and depth. You'll appreciate its ability to create a sweet, resonant core sound for lyrical playing in any register.
Precision and Comfort
The rounded rim on this mouthpiece has a raised inner edge that gives you a precise, centered feel on your embouchure. Its shape helps guide your mouth's placement and airflow for optimal control and endurance during long practice sessions or performances. The high point of the rim contour also helps focus your air stream for efficient, pitch-perfect high notes.
