Stork French Horn Mouthpieces
The Philip Myers Series
"The basic problem of finding a mouthpiece that both provides a ring to the sound in soft playing, yet does not break up in extremely loud playing finds its solution here.This mouthpiece is virtually impossible to overblow, and the sound is quite even throughout the ranges." "This mouthpiece has no traditional bowl, but rather curves in instead of down from the rim. This cup design, plus the slightly longer length of this mouthpiece causes an M1 to feel like a conventional 4 or 5 bore, an M8 more like the conventional 12 bore. These mouthpieces simply do not take as much air to play as the same sized mouthpiece you are now using. Available in 1 or 2 piece versions." Philip Myers, Principal Horn, New York Philharmonic
The Myers model french horn mouthpiece is available in bore sizes #1 - #8 (5.8mm through 5.1mm). The cup diameter measures 16.7 mm and the rim is medium thin. The cup is deep and conically shaped. Available in one or two piece.
The Francis Orval Series
"The mouthpiece that I have chosen and that I utilize is a compromise, like all mouthpieces must be. The cup is slightly rounded which gives a warm sonority and the balanced proportions between the cup depth and the bore size gives an ease of response in all registers."
