The Difference Between Mediocrity & Mastery
A brass instrument mouthpiece is much more than an add-on or accessory. It is a vital part of your instrument. As interface between artist and instrument, it can mean the difference between mediocrity and mastery.

Série Signature
Depuis de nombreuses années, Yamaha fabrique des embouchures spécifiques, sur mesure, pour des centaines d'artistes aux talents exceptionnels, dans ses différents ateliers R & D à travers le monde. Déçus par les embouchures proposées sur le marché, ces artistes se sont rapprochés de Yamaha car ils savaient que la seule société capable de concevoir et fabriquer l'embouchure de leur rêve était bien sûr Yamaha. De par leur longue carrière, les musiciens ont beaucoup appris sur le type de son et de réponse qu'ils souhaitaient et nos artisans ont acquis toutes les connaissances techniques durant de nombreuses années pour créer l'embouchure de ces musiciens. Le succès de ces embouchures a été tel que les artistes avaient de plus en plus de demandes par des élèves et des amis pour obtenir une copie de leur embouchure. C'est la raison pour laquelle Yamaha a décidé de créer une nouvelle série d'embouchure, la ""Série Signature"" . Maintenant, un grand nombre de musiciens peut partager les résultats de cette extraordinaire collaboration entre l'artiste et l'artisan.

Principal Trumpet with the Los Angeles Philharmonic

"The new Yamaha Thomas Hooten trumpet mouthpiece is something I use everyday in my job at the LA Philharmonic. It allows me to be as diverse as I need to be from Copland or Mahler to John Williams. Once again Yamaha has created a tool for trumpet players that is consistent and even throughout the range. I recommend this mouthpiece to anyone that is looking for a full bodied orchestral sound that not only has dept but also enough color to help project in any situation."
