The revered Moosewood line is now produced by Atkinson Brass.
These are threaded mouthpiece cups without rim, designed by Tom Greer, master mouthpiece maker of Moosewood mouthpieces and currently made by Atkinson Brass. These cups are designed to properly mate with Moosewood rims. This two-piece mouthpiece system allows you to keep the same embouchure and rim feel while adjusting the cup size to tailor your horn's response to your needs and your comfort.
- The A & C model cups are designed specifically for Kruspe and other large throat horns. Rims have standard Giardinelli threads.
- Cups are silver plated.
- Cups use the standard shank unless noted in the drop down menu.
