SpectraTone will improve your performance from day one. You can choose from a wide range of diameters and FOUR rim profiles to maximize comfort, range, and endurance. The fully modular design allows you to adjust tonal color and upgrade any parameter as you progress over time. This is especially helpful for students, comeback players, and professionals who will experience growth, both physically and musically, in the coming years.
SpectraTone mouthpieces were designed with the input of thousands of trumpet players who have shared their challenges with us over the past twenty-five years.

Color
SpectraTone mouthpieces will become available in every tonal color, over the next 18 months with backbore options for trumpet, cornet, and flugelhorn. SpectraTone Blue produces a warm, dark, mature sound suitable for solos in both Jazz and Classical genres as well as most group settings. This is the second most commonly requested configuration (after Yellow) we have offered in the past twenty-six years.
The NEW SpectraTone BLUE Cup and BLUE Backbore designs create a smooth, clean attack with added depth and pronounced lower overtones.

Standard - standard contour
Wide - standard inner contour with wider outside contour
Semi-flat - slightly flat version of "Wide"
14 Diameters - .550" (14mm) to .680" (17.3mm)
Rim diameter considerations
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.

The high point is a key piece of information that will determine the rim contour. The theoretical high point is a ridge formed by one or more crooked teeth that your mouthpiece may rest upon. Players with one or more high points often find round contour rims to be a suitable choice as blood flow is increased with this type of setup.
Players with near perfectly straight teeth will usually have difficulty with a round rim contour as this may cut off the blood supply to the vibrating portion of the lips. These players may experience greater success using a wide or semi-flat rim contour. And braces create other challenges that may require any of these contours to alleviate indentation of the lips and increase blood flow.
