Specs

(Red: Reaper 3C, Blue: Bach 3C)

Reaper rims are intended to be comfortable for all-round playing. The bite to the rim is slightly more subtle which allows the player to seat their embouchure comfortably, without feeling the rim is digging into the players lips. A Reaper rim also has a wider outer rim which provides slightly more cushion, and can aid in playing the horn for longer periods of time. Rim sizes are offered from 1 - 10.5. 1 being the widest rim offered at 0.680" diameter, and 10.5 being the smallest at 0.625" diameter. Labeling is similar to Bach or Pickett mouthpieces.

 

Reaper mouthpieces offer cups sizes from A - F. A being the deepest cup offered, and F being the most shallow. We also offer half sizes from AB - DE, which are in between the standard sizes as far as cup depth. Labeling is similar to Bach or Pickett mouthpieces.

 

 

The backbore is everything inside the mouthpiece after the throat. Backbores vary in their size, geometry, and rate of taper. These changes are very subtle, but can make all the difference in how a mouthpiece sounds and responds. We offer three standard backbores in our standard line currently:

The "Standard" backbore serves as an all around backbore that can work in many different stiles of playing. The contour is most similar to a Bach 10 backbore.

The "Orchestral" backbore is meant for orchestral and ensemble playing. This backbore is larger, allowing for a  more open and rich sound. This backbore is most similar to a Bach 24 backbore.

The "Commercial" backbore is, you guessed it, meant for commercial work. This is a tighter backbore that creates more compression for the player. This gives the player more power to their sound in mid and high registers without having to work hard to sustain that sound throughout the gig. The contour is most similar to a Reeves 692 backbore.

Blanks are the design and shape of the mouthpiece on the outside. Some of the shape of a mouthpiece on the outside serves a sonic purpose, and rest is mainly aesthetic. Reaper mouthpieces are currently sold in four blanks:

Standard: This design is a healthy medium in size and geometry. The design helps to set the mouthpiece apart from the rest, but not stray too far away from the traditional look of a trumpet mouthpiece.

Original: This is the first design Reaper Mouthpieces took on. The shape was meant to optimize success when printing with a different method of 3D Printing. FDM was the original method, but now Reaper Mouthpieces are exclusively made out of resin SLA/DLP printing. This allows for the most accuracy and detail our of a print. Not to mention the mouthpieces are completely solid now, unlike the FDM models. 

I decided to keep this blank mostly out of personal nostalgia, but it does offer more of a heavily blank option which can add a little more resonance to your sound.

Traditional: This blank is reminiscent of a Bach blank that we all know and love. This helps add a sense of familiarity visually and functionally. Those who just love the look of a Bach, this is for you.

Commercial: This is a very light "skeleton" blank. Inspired by the Jet-Tone blank, with a slightly more modern twist to it. Great if you just want something different, or are looking for that extra-light look and sound for your screaming gig.

Our mouthpieces are offered in serval different color options. This is the most volatile option to choose from since the availability will depend on the colors of resin I have in stock. I plan to expand the color options over time as well, so keep and eye out!
