The Alain Trudel silver-plated Replica Series mouthpiece's wide inner rim size and open throat allow a warm, broad sound even at fortissimo. Well-suited to orchestral and solo use, the Trudel mouthpiece has a deep cup and special rim contour for the sound and feeling of a much bigger mouthpiece, yet still has the secure, well-centered high range usually only possible with a smaller mouthpiece. It feels wide for comfort, but it's not a chop buster. Fairly thick rim for endurance. U-shaped deep cup with a v-shape going into the throat for a smooth, dark free-blowing tone with great overtones.

These players were unsatisfied with the commercial models out there and knew the technicians would deliver exactly the tone and response they wanted. The demand for these mouthpieces has grown, so decided to offer a select lineup. Each Replica Series mouthpiece is produced on a precise, computer-controlled lathe to guarantee each one is exactly the same as the one used by its namesake.

I really enjoy using this mouthpiece after trying the 48, 51, and 55 (large bore). Not sure why, but it seems to facilitate my upper range better than the 48. I use this mouthpiece for upper register tunes, and I use the 51 for most mid- to low-range pieces. Wondering if the Peter Sullivan model is similar?Yamaha Alain Trudel Replica Series Trombone Mouthpiece
