Thank you! The mouthpiece came just in time for my sons first rehearsal with MYSO.
The Laskey Protégé was developed for beginning and emerging horn players, and it brings the Laskey sound to young students at an affordable price. It's a mouthpiece a student can grow with for several years.
The rim has the traditional Laskey contour, with a defined edge for crisp articulation and a cushioned feel. It's slightly oversized, which gives young players more room inside the cup. The cup-to-throat ratio supports a steady air stream and easy flexibility across the range, with a clear, full tone.
Horn teachers love it as a first mouthpiece, and when students are ready for a professional model, moving up to the Laskey G Series is an easy transition.
American shanks fit most horns. European shanks fit Alexander horns and several other European brands. Some brands, like Yamaha, use a combination taper that takes either shank, and horns from makers like Dürk come with two receivers so you can use either one.
Always confirm mouthpiece fit with your instrument's manufacturer before you buy, or schedule an in-person or Zoom call with us and we'll help you verify the shank you need.
