Blessing French Horn Mouthpiece (MPC11FR)

Great mouthpiece for use with my daughter's instrument. The finish was a bit discolored on the rim of the cup in one spot. Almost like it was burnt? It did not have any issue though and that area seems to be without issue as far as texture goes. Maybe these were factory seconds sold to us, we're not sure. It doesn't affect the performance and there isn't a distinguishable feel or even taste that area. I don't know if this is plated but nothing seems exposed as some other mouthpieces out there on the market are plated.

All my life I have used an MC7 or something with a larger diameter, (whatever was given to me by my school), but this is the first mouthpiece I have bought for myself and it is by far my favorite. It is really comfortable to play on and makes it so much easier to play high notes when you have to hit them really fast. College band approved!

As described

My grandchild plays several different brass instruments. Having a standard mouth piece is very helpful.

Good french horn mouthpiece so far.

It has a thicker rim than the Selmer mouthpiece, and I found it harder to play. The embouchure is hard enough with the French horn without it being made even smaller by the thicker rim. But it does give a more secure grip. I tried both, and decided I liked the Selmer better. But the Blessing is a well-made mouthpiece and I have no complaints about the workmanship or durability.

Works perfect with our son's Holton french horn. I am sure it will work fine with most brands. Shipped fast.

Great product
