Original Engelbert Schmid Mouthpieces

There are three widths to meet the individual lip sizes. For each rim width there are five cups, - shallow, medium shallow, medium, medium deep and deep, in order to achieve a brighter or darker sound, an easier high register or a more voluminous low register.

To choose your mouthpiece follow these Steps:

  1. Decide on your rim width.

  2. Listen to your sound with the medium cup, i.e. with No.2, No.5, No. 8, No.11 or No. 14. If you wish a brighter sound, try the next shallower cup, or if you wish a darker sound, try the next deeper cup.

Usually Engelbert Schmid mouthpieces are used with the original bore. For individual needs sometimes its an advantage to drill out the bore for one or two tenths of a millimeter. In this case the curve of the cup has to be adjusted again.
