As part of our Courtois F piston/invention trumpet project, we have developed this copy of a Paresian mouthpiece by Antoine Courtois, ca. 1860, from the collection of Bruno Kampmann in Paris. With a big, full sound and great flexibility, it is well-matched to all Romantic French trumpets and is well-suited to playing in both high and low registers.
