A mouthpiece made in collaboration with Bill VerMeulen, Principal Horn of the Houston Symphony and Professor of Horn at the Shepherd School of Music at Rice University, the Everest has a medium depth cup/funnel combo cup. The rim is wide with a sharp bite to aid in articulation and allows the player to play long sessions more comfortably.

This mouthpiece comes with a Morse shank and is silver plated. It can be special ordered with a European shank. Both the Morse and European shank mouthpieces can be special ordered gold plated for an additional cost. Special order versions of the Everest will have a longer lead time than the standard version. Please email sales@houghtonhorns.com for additional information.
