Standard GR Rim
- The Standard GR Rim is composed of medium characteristics.
- This rim is comfortable and is generally easy for most players to adapt to quickly.
- The width may feel a bit more generous than traditional rims and will aid endurance.
- Flexibility is good and articulations will be cleanly defined.
- This is our most popular rim choice and "blind" tests have proven that it is favoured over many conventional rims.
- Standard Rims have no designation on the mouthpiece itself.
e Rim
- The GR e - Rim is made for those that require a wider feel and less bite.
- This rim is ideal for players that require good endurance; furthermore, it is great for downsizing giving the player the same OD yet smaller ID.
- The bite is medium soft and contour is semi-flat.
- E Rims have an "e" designation on the mouthpiece.
- This rim is standard on the e62 and e65 Series Mouthpieces and is available on other models as a special order.
- Note * If a rim is too flat or too wide it will impinge lip vibration and cause a thin sound on certain players. On the other hand many players can benefit from added support with this type of rim.
G Rim
- The GR G Rim was originally designed by Gary Radtke for his own use but with it's popularity, we decided to add it to our line.
- The G Rim has the same bite contour as our Standard rim but the rim is slightly wider and outside radius is slightly larger.
- This gives the player more effective rim area on the chops as mouthpiece pressure is applied.
- It aids in the distribution of pressure over a larger lip surface which will give support and aid endurance.
- This rim does not feel overly wide and flexibilities will not be compromised.
- The G Rim will have a "G" designation on the mouthpiece.
- This rim is standard on the G66 Series Mouthpieces as well as some G67 models, and is available on other models as a special order.
3 Series Rim
- The GR 3 Series Rim has a slightly flatter feel than the GR Standard rim.
- It may have a familiar feel to conventional 3 players but with GR improvements in comfort and articulations.
- All 3 Series Mouthpieces have the same alpha angle.
- The bite is softer than the Standard GR Rim and GR E-Rim.
- The larger bite radius may make the rim feel larger.
- The outside diameter is slightly narrower than the Standard GR Rim.
- This is a generous rim with excellent grip and support.
Z* Rim
- This popular rim is flatter than the GR E-Rim and will feel more cushioned than the Standard GR Rim, yet with increased grip.
- The Z* rim offers secure comfort, endurance and distribution of pressure.
- The bite is medium and the alpha is high.
- This is a very popular choice for players using conventional "4" rims who need increased endurance with improved articulations.
Z** Rim
- Same as the Z* Series rim with a softer bite.
- This allows for slightly more chop in the cup and is an excellent choice for commercial players who are accustomed to a softer bite.
