The Rim is the most important component of our SpectraTone/5MM Modular Mouthpiece System. We recommend settling on one rim size with one or two variations for use on your modular mouthpiece. This allows your embouchure to remain consistent as you experiment with the wide variety of cup, throat and backbore sizes available.

Finding the right mouthpiece is the key to experiencing a major performance breakthrough.
Comfort and dental fit are more important than any other factors.
Picture
We have listened to hundreds of trumpet players requesting special rim shapes
over the past 26+ years, which led to the six shape variations we offer today.

Our mouthpieces have been the first choice for over 6,000 trumpet players worldwide


Six variations in 14 Diameters - .550" (14mm) to .680" (17.3mm)
  • NEW "H" Rim - round inner contour designed for ultimate flexibility
  • Standard - standard contour, average inner and outer radii
  • "W" Wide - standard inner contour with wider outside contour
  • "X" Semi-flat - slightly flat version of "Wide"
  • "Y" Flat - just like it sounds, more surface area on your lips
  • "Z" Very Flat - maximum surface area for less mouthpiece pressure

Players with perfectly straight teeth prefer a different rim contour than those with braces or crooked teeth. And the diameter you've been playing on may be too large or small, which may limit your tone quality and range. The SpectraTone mouthpiece design takes these factors into account to help you make real progress.

Size comparison chart

At Harrelson, we measure the actual Rim diameter where it meets the cup, as this is the actual diameter. Most other manufacturers measure the high point of the rim, which results in an inaccurate and inflated number not representative of the actual size due to inner radius variations. This means that any manufacturer using a high point value for a specific size is likely overstating the diameter by 40-50 thousandths of an inch.

For example: our 680 rim is larger in diameter than any rim we have ever measured, so it is unlikely you need to order something larger than 640 unless you play on very large rims.

Another example: our 614 rim is the exact diameter of pretty much all common 3 diameter rims from Bach and related copies.

Picture
SpectraTone/5MM Modular Rims feature:
  • optimized shape variations for every player
  • numerous "high point" options to match your dental structure
