"I am delighted to highly recommend the LOUD mouthpiece series to you. I've used one for several years and simply won't go back to anything I've previously used. It's a matter of response, clarity and efficiency. Most of my students, euphonium and tuba, CC and F tuba players, are making the switch and I've not had a single student decide to go back to an earlier mouthpiece. I'm not talking about subtle improvements but DRAMATIC progress on the horn.

Bottom line is: I've been extremely happy with the results my students have gotten on the Loud Mouthpiece. It's the BEST they've ever sounded!"

"All I can say about my new Rick Baptist Studio Model is, for the last 30 years I have played on literally the same mouthpiece for everything I do. Steve [Patrick] sent me this piece and I fell in love with a mouthpiece all over again.

The rim is SOOOO comfortable and I am now using it on everything that comes at me in Los Angeles. Soft, Loud, Hard, Easy, Legit or Big Band.

This mouthpiece is the best I have ever used, or ever will. I am sold on Loud Mouthpieces.

Try it, you will love it too!"

I've been using the mouthpiece on calls & I like what I'm hearing on playbacks. This is the one for me!

Thanks, Joe!

"I really love the LM-7. The first time I put it in the horn everything was easier: slurs articulations, dynamic contrast, with less effort. A very efficient mouthpiece!

As far as the LM-10 goes... I received the mouthpiece yesterday as I was running off to work. I tried it in the warm up room and liked it so much I used it for the concert! I usually use a Mirafone or Schilke C4 on my Yamaha 822f but I have been searching for a mouthpiece that would give me more highs without cutting out the low overtones. That's what I'm getting out of this mouthpiece. I played it for some of my colleagues and they all prefer the sound of the LM-10 to my C4's. The rim is great and I really like the feel of the stainless. Thanks, Joe!"

"I'm one of those guys who doesn't change equipment much. I know what works and it's served me well in the studio for a long time. I've been playing the same Jetone Studio C for the last 30 years and a Bach 6B since the mid 80s. Joe and Steve approached me about making a mouthpiece that would suit my commercial needs, something similar to my Jetone with a Loud Mouthpieces quality to it.

All I can say is that they've come up with a real winner. The Haynes model (LM85) has a unique focus to the sound and an ease in the upper register. I'm also a big fan of the LM5B and the LM10.5C.

The 5B is great for orchestral recording and the 10.5C has a great all around feel. I'm also playing the flugel mouthpiece and am totally delighted. I never thought after all these years I'd switch, but LOUD has made me a believer. The mouthpieces speak for themselves."

When I first heard about the Loud Mouthpiece trumpet models, I wasn't interested. I had been playing on a Reeves custom that I was convinced I would be on for the rest of my career. I wasn't even looking for any more mouthpieces. Then a friend of mine let me play on a few of the LOUD Mouthpieces. I saw that the 3Z looked similar to my Bob Reeves so I put it on my horn.

After playing on the 3Z I realized that it offered me more control than my custom Reeves! I also had a fuller sound in every register of the horn. Now the 3Z is all I play on. I never switch to anything else. I love it for section work and even have no problem using it for lead stuff.

I am currently playing on the LM-85M and the LM-F. I love the LM-85M because it gives me more harmonics in my sound than any other lead mouthpiece design. It's not "nasally" or "ratty" sounding and is reminiscent of the 70's and 80's studio trumpet sound.

I'm also looking into their smaller line of mouthpieces because they don't feel small, and they don't sacrifice sound like other small mouthpieces. The LM-F on the other hand is a masterpiece. This flugel mouthpiece is fluffy, warm, and feels great. Every trumpeter should have this mouthpiece in their arsenal.

I am currently playing on the LM3Z. This mouthpiece is what I've been waiting for someone to make for years. I've always been most comfortable playing on the larger Bach mouthpieces simply because of the shape and build of my face. Sometimes that is a challenge because as a lead trumpet player you need something that has more cut which usually is an easier find in a smaller mouthpiece.

The LM3Z is the best of both worlds. It gives me the larger cup that my face needs but has a back bore that is built in such a way that allows me to really get a powerful sound in the upper register.

"Throughout my tuba playing life, I have never been what some what might call an "equipment geek". I found (usually rather luckily) something that worked for me, and I just didn't change.

Recently I tried an LM-10, seeking a wide diameter mouthpiece, but a cup/throat combination that would allow me to match articulations with my quintet better especially in the upper register. After just a month, we are matching better, and I'm not having to work nearly as hard as I once did. Several of my students now play LOUD mouthpieces as well, and the results of those changes are evident in their playing and development, as well."

"I've just received the LM-52 and....I am a happy man!It has a very nice, clear sound and, very important to me, my lips feel very very comfortable. Really... I could never expect to find such a mouthpiece and I feel very lucky because it is just what I was looking for. And believe me, I've tried a lot of different and very well known mouthpieces! (Bach, Schilke, Wick, Courtois..)

I would like to thank for your excellent and quick shipment, your MJT cd (wooowww it sounds great!) and, of course, for your excellent mouthpiece work. Now I do know who is my favorite and you will be on my mind for next occasions. It worth waiting for a mouthpiece from you. Thanks a lot!"

"The LM35 I have been playing now for almost 2 weeks. It is by FAR the best mouthpiece I have ever played.

My sound is darker, more centered and yet projects more. The articulation is better and my endurance has increased dramatically!

The past two days I have been playing with Dr. Earle Louder (former principal euphonium US Navy Band) for over 10 hours. When we tested this mouthpiece against my Bach Megatone 1 1/2GM, my custom Schilke 58E5E, my Wick SM3 and SM4, and other mouthpieces not even worth mentioning, EVERY SINGLE TIME and in every test, Dr. Louder (who just was listening and did not know what mpc I was playing) said every time and in every individual test, that the LM35 sounded the best.

I am fully endorsing this mouthpiece as the BEST euphonium mouthpiece that I have ever played. I am now playing it exclusively and do strongly recommend to all brass players to try these mouthpieces.

THEY ARE EXACTLY AS GOOD AS YOU SAY ON YOUR WEBSITE!"

"I've got the LM-25 & the LM-27 and I love them both. I'm going to use both often. They are really comfortable and easy blowing with an amazing thick and dark sound. Intonation was the one thing that I was a bit worried about, but they are possibly the best match for the instrument I've ever found!

Thanks once again, I think you're on to a real winner with these mouthpieces brilliant design and service."

I recently purchased the trombone I had been looking for -- looking for many years. I always wanted a German style trombone for chamber type trombone playing. A new German horn of course is quite expensive. But via a trade with a Kanstul Artist trombone player, I got a Yamaha YSL603 German style trombone. At first I was a bit disappointed, but when I played it with the LOUD LM-48 mouthpiece, it all came together.

The density of the stainless steel and the design of the mouthpiece worked wonderfully. The stainless steel is smooth and transfers more energy to the instrument -- giving the player great control at both pianissimo and fortissimo.

You can play loud with the LOUD mouthpieces without a doubt, but those same qualities allow you to play even chamber music with much more control. It was the perfect match to a wonderful instrument.
