Detail information
The Groove Structure
As you can see in the picture above, all Groove mouthpieces have a special invention at the throat. Best Brass named this concept “The Groove,” generating slight resistance which assists the vibration of the lips. Though “resistance” may sound like a bad thing, this will actually achieve a smoother blow and larger sound because lips vibrate more efficiently when the air encounters resistance.
The distinctive designs.
The distinctive design of the Groove mouthpiece creates a visual as well as tonal personality, and the simple yet ingenious set up differentiates them from any other brand and leaves a strong impression. The Groove mouthpieces are characterized by an incredible attention to every single part of the mouthpieces: BB (Best Brass) rim, textured cup, Groove throat, and Mensur backbore, and is shaped from a round bar of brass using a precisian diamond lathe and tools developed in-house. Once you try our mouthpieces, your playing experience will forever be changed for the better.
