The Ultimate High Compression Mouthpiece For Players Who Can't Play Shallow Cups!

S-B (Sonic-Boom) Series Trumpet Mouthpieces

In an effort to please players who have a tough time with the standard GR high compression Z cups, and for those who have a tendency to bottom out on the GR S cups, Gary Radtke has developed the new S-B Series Trumpet Mouthpieces.

After playing the 62 S-B, Brian Scriver dubbed it the Sonic Boom.  

For those of you who can not tolerate a shallower cup and higher alpha angle, these are the ultimate lead and commercial mouthpieces.

The GR S-B Series Trumpet Mouthpieces are designed using the GR design program so each model will feature that fat GR sound.

Crisp articulations, full low register, amazingly easy upper register are some of the benefits of the S-B design.

Yes, you have heard all of this before about other lead mouthpieces, but the S-B Series is specifically designed for players who require the additional chop room to prevent "bottoming out."

Take note of how close the chop room is on the S-B as compared to the Primal.  But check out how the S-B comes in tighter at the bottom of the cup to create the compression required for faster attacks, crisp low register, focused center, and easier upper register! 

This is the ultimate high compression mouthpiece for lead and commercial players

who require added chop room to prevent 'bottoming out".

M-B Series Trumpet Mouthpieces

The M-B cup makes a perfect "matched set" to the S-B cup.

The M-B was designed for those who want an all around mouthpiece with similar chop room to the GR M cup, plus a slightly brighter sound and faster response than the M.  This is like a GR M cup with more compression.

M-B has more upper cup volume than the M but it is tighter in the bottom of the cup and throat entrance.  Even though the M-B and M cups have virtually the same volume, the M-B is not as deep as the M cup. An excellent commercial sound with a big fat center.

Have a close look at the diagram below. Notice the top of the cup. Same chop room in the S-B, M-B, and Primal cups. The difference is in the second cup, beta angle, and throat entrance.

 - M-B is most open but features more compression than the GR M cup.

 - Primal has a higher Beta angle but is more open going into the throat. This provides secure feedback to the chops but a huge fat sound. A slightly different feel than the M-B. Some players may feel a more solid core to the note than M-B.

- S-B follows the Primal very closely but it has a tighter throat entrance for the ultimate in fatness with compression.

"GR raises the bar in mouthpiece design once again with the stunning new S-B cups.   This new hybrid design produces the perfect balance between that extra "oomph" needed for a controlled and accessible high register and the warm full tone desired in the middle and low registers.   The S-B cup allows a bit more chop room for precise articulation and lip movement without the need to overextend to a larger rim diameter than you can effectively handle.    Rocket science finally catches up with mouthpiece design.   Bravo once again to GR!"
