FRENCH HORN CUP SIZES

Our cup selection was determined by what are the most popular sizes being used by players today and what we believe will offer optimum performance. Laskey mouthpieces are available in the following three cup sizes. We have chosen not to offer deeper cups on the shallower mouthpieces as we feel it will not create the proper balance needed. All cup sizes are made with a standard throat size of .182"/("14")/4,62mm.

J

Slightly more shallow than our G cup, the new J cup offers brilliance but with a bit rounder and
sweeter sound. The cup is slightly more conic in
shape than our other cups yet has all the brilliance
and bite a player may want.

G This is our standard cup and is offered in all sizes. In our tests, this cup provided the best mix of tone and color to virtually every player. While slightly shallower than many cups we have seen players use, its performance outshined them all.

F A slightly deeper and more funnel cup than the G cup. It will still have the precision of attack that the G cup offers, but with a slightly thicker and rounder sound. A little deeper than the traditional "Farkas" cup.

E Deep, yet with a degree of brilliance that is not usually found in a cup this deep. This cup is not only ideal for 2nd and 4th horn, but also has enough brilliance to be used on some of the higher horn parts.
