Description:

Zottola Silver 64CTrumpet Mouthpiece. 64C: MEDIUM SHALLOW Slightly more shallow than the 64B, it gives a boost to range, endurance and projection. Especially recommended for lead in big bands or shows. Mr. Zottola's goal; to achieve a significant improvement in sound production, which would allow the brass player to create a full, yet focused and brilliant tone with less effort and without any of the harshness, nasal quality and distortion inherent in so many earlier mouthpiece design "innovations." Strangely enough, his research led him out of the machine shop and into Nature's own laboratory. Nature's Laboratory in 1952, while walking through a quiet New England woods he came upon a smoothly flowing stream. Subconsciously, his musician's ear noticed that it was producing a dark and diffused tonal quality. As he wandered along a little further where periodic rock obstructions on the stream's bed interrupted the water's flow creating turbulence, he became aware of the increase in brilliance and a compactness of sound. When the stream finally broke into a waterfall, crashing on the descending steps, the pitch, intensity and volume reached its maximum. At that moment, he had a realization that this natural phenomenon could be extended to a practical application in mouthpiece design. He postulated that a stepped back-bore design might very well be what contemporary brass players have been searching for to solve their problem of ever increasing range and endurance demands. Features of the Zottola Mouthpiece One of the greatest achievements of this design is the one to two tone increase in the upper register without additional effort. The range/endurance boost that players have reported is analogous to the dramatic power surge a turbo-charger or fuel injector has on an engine. In many cases this breakthrough coupled with the comfort design rim has actually eliminated swollen, cut lips and even allowed players to move up to first chair.
