Hartman Mouthpieces will be at the ITF 2023 in Salt Lake City! Ilan Morgenstern, bass trombonist, publisher, mute pioneer and a good friend will have my mouthpieces available for you to try out. The following models – plus more – will be there.
VW Series
2 piece
The VW series mouthpieces are based upon my modular designs and are theoretically just a good, but not being modular means that I can manufacture and sell them for less. I recommend these mouthpieces for serious young players who want to have the Hartman Mouthpiece design benefits at a lower price!
Concerto
6 piece
The Concerto has a 1- piece stainless steel cup/rim with a tuned throat insert, a brass shank with two tuned bushings and a weight collar. It has a comfortable rim for all types of playing and a smooth but clear tone. The throat is .276″
Solo
7 piece
The Solo has a one piece stainless steel cup/rim with a tuned throat insert, a brass shank with two tuned bushings and two weight collars. It has a comfortable rim for all types of playing and a strong, clear tone that floats in and out of the high range with ease. Perfect for lead playing. The throat is .232″
Custom Series Sonata
8 piece
The Custom Series Sonata mouthpieces are designed for large bore tenor trombones that use a large shank mouthpiece. The larger the number, the larger the cup – and generally – the bigger the horn they mate with. The Custom series mouthpieces are my most advanced and finely tuned mouthpieces. This is the series to consider if you want to perfectly match a mouthpiece to your horn.
