A mouthpiece for use with brass-wind musical instruments which includes an elliptical cup with conical section internal contour and a high-mass design.

An improved rim for a mouthpiece for a plurality of non-French horn labrosone brass musical instruments. The improved rim has a rim width having a predetermined width measurement as a smallest width dimension taken of an outer edge, a crown, and an inner edge of the improved rim, where the rim width can be a same width as a playing surface of the improved rim, where the playing surface is a width of the improved rim engaged by a musician's lips. Also provided are improved rims removably or permanently affixed to the mouthpiece.

A woodwind mouthpiece has a tone chamber with a bottom surface and a window. A table extends along an outer surface of the mouthpiece, and a pair of side rails extends from the table along opposite sides of the window. A removable tone chamber insert is disposed in the tone chamber in contact with the bottom surface and the interior surface of each side rail. The tone chamber insert modifies at least one of a tone chamber width defined by a distance between the interior surfaces of the side rails and a bottom surface width defined by a distance between the interior surfaces of the side rails at the bottom surface. In addition, a v-shaped notch extends into the table from the side rail top surfaces at least about 50% of the length of the table. the v-shaped notch defines an angle of at least about 15 degrees.

A woodwind adaptor for woodwind musical instruments that enables a reed instrument to sound like an end-blown flute instrument. The woodwind adaptor replaces the standard reed-housing mouthpiece of the reed instrument with a recorder-style adaptor having a tone hole, whereby the tonal qualities through the reed instrument are, in part, propagated by the player's urged air stream over the edge of the tonal hole.
