The VGR (Venturi Gap Receiver) System is integrated into this leadpipe. Join the hundreds of players who have discovered the secret to finding the sweet spot on their favorite horn. Quickly adjust mouthpiece gap, venturi, airflow, flexibility and slotting on any trumpet. Increased resonance matching between any horn and mouthpiece will make difficult passages so much easier!
Originally developed for Harrelson instruments, now you can experience the Variable Performance System (VPS) on your Bach, Yamaha, Schilke or any other Bb or C trumpet. You only need to supply the female (or male tube for reverse designs) to fit your tuning slide. In some cases, we may have the correct size tube for your specific make/model trumpet.
