Until the last 15 years or so, the J models were one of the very few French horn mouthpieces that were available in a large inner diameter. It was very popular among players who needed the more than ample vibrating room that this mouthpiece offered. On the surface of things, the cup is not as deep as a standard C Series cup, but the large inner diameter of this piece gives this mouthpiece an enormous amount of "overall volume". This, along with the large bore size, makes this a large piece in just about every sense. The rim is on the narrow side which also favors the fleshy lipped player. |

The S models feature a medium cup depth that is much more "V" shaped than the standard "C" Series cups. This is a medium shallow cup with a medium wide cushion rim. |

This is the most popular of the New York Collection of French horn models. This mouthpiece has continued to be in demand by players all over the world to this day. The cup is a very large volume, deep cup similar to our C series deep cup but with even more bowl to it. The rim is decidedly on the narrow side. The flexibility in the bore sizes makes this mouthpiece very playable. |
