Laskey Classic Trumpet , 65MC, Standard Shank, Silver

Laskey mouthpieces are officially back! After Scott Laskey’s passing, these beloved mouthpieces disappeared for a while, but now Eastman has brought them back, with manufacturing happening at the Backun facility in Canada—and the quality is phenomenal.

They’re based on classic Bach designs but updated with modern CNC manufacturing, which means way better consistency, a more logical sizing system, and a great variety of cup options (from deep B cups to super shallow ES cups).

Most importantly? These are professional-quality mouthpieces for only $100, which is kind of unheard of in today’s mouthpiece market.

Selecting A Cup Size

It's not enough to have a bright sound for lead playing if you can't control the sound and pitch. Having a large orchestral sound is useless if there is no center. Years of building custom mouthpieces have shown me how to design cups that help the performer achieve optimum qualities of sound and control. The cornet and piccolo cups are designed to complement the trumpet mouthpieces by allowing players to keep the same rim throughout their set if they choose to do so.

Trumpet Shallow Cups

Are designed to not only help you sound great at the beginning of the night, but also and more importantly, help you still play and sound good at the end of the night.

S-Cups are medium shallow and provide brilliance, tone and upper register support.

ES-Cups are very shallow with a soft entrance to the throat.trumpet mouthpiece reference guide

Trumpet Medium Depth Cups

Help provide a full sound and good support for the upper register. Good selection for most players.

C-is a standard size with good volume, brilliance and tone.

MC- is designed with the first bowl moderately shallow while the second is deeper to produce tone

Trumpet Deeper Cups

Allow full-bodied sound while still maintaining a solid center.

MD- is a newer design with a depth between #1 and 1C

B- is best described as a concave funnel

D- is a deep bowl like the old #1 with a very full sound and great control

Laskey trumpet rims are listed by the approximate inside measurement. If a mouthpiece measures .680 on the ID, the size is the last two digits or 80. Standard throat size on all trumpet mouthpieces is .144"/(#27)/3,66mm.
