Flugelhorn Mouthpieces

Flugelhorn mouthpieces are available for every rim size available. They balance well and produce a velvety yet clean sound. Three cup depths: FL is a standard-style deep flugel (.750" deep) cup #18 bore suitable for most work; FLM is a medium-shallow flugel  (.625" deep) cup #22 bore for those that desire a shallower cup; FLD cup is my deepest cup (.875" deep) #15 bore that offers the richest, darkest sound of the Curry line and is the next logical step to the deepest flugelhorn cups on the market-Flip Oakes WT flugel mouthpieces (1.00" deep, #13 bore). These are only available through www.flipoakes.com

Please note: ALL 600 Series rims are available with corresponding FLM, FL, and FLD cups.

Proper fitting of a flugelhorn mouthpiece is more crucial than most players think. Please be sure to choose the correct shank style when ordering. See information below.

Flugelhorn Mouthpiece Taper Information

There are three commonly used flugelhorn tapers:

• Standard taper: fits Yamaha, Getzen, Callet, Benge/King/Conn, Holton and older Kanstul 1525 fluglehorns and other “American” flugelhorns except Bach.
• Bach taper: Fits Bach, Courtois, LeBlanc (including Sandoval), B&S, and some other European brands, and Kanstul models 725, 1025, & 1525.
• Couesnon Taper: Fits Couesnon, some other European brands, Flip Oakes "Wild Thing," Kanstul CCF 925, and original F. Besson flugelhorns. Couesnon taper is sometimes referred to as French taper.
  note: Standard taper will fit in most flugels requiring a Bach taper. They just stick out of the tuning bit about 1/4" further.
