What do you get when you combine the best components of history's most storied and famous mouthpieces with crap tons of time, money, and testing? ...a blown mind, and a mouthpiece that you'll never want to stop playing. We're professional trumpet nerds on multiple levels, and this is what we do: try hard to make the world's best products, and the world's worst lube jokes. We offer you these mouthpieces five, and all are worthy of their moniker: Lube Master.

Philosophy: make the perfect version of "holy grail" mouthpieces that need no modification and are ready to plug and play right away. 

Approach: We have relied heavily on Vincent Bach's Mt. Vernon designs throughout this process. Now if you know anything about Mt. Vernon mouthpieces, you probably know that none of them feel quite alike. We've purchased a good number of Mt. Vernon mouthpieces in support of this project, and can confidently say that if you played a dozen Mt. Vernon 1C mouthpieces they will all play differently. This is why our search to find a "grail" has been frustrating...

So what we've done is sorted through all of this and combined the best characteristics of the very best Mt. Vernons into one mouthpiece that needs no modification. 

Lead

Full disclosure: none of the three of us is a lead player. Fortunately, we have friends who are incredible professional lead players...and they're giving this mouthpiece amazing reviews. The thing that seems to have made the difference is the blank. Some blanks seem way too light, creating a thin sound, and some are way too heavy, which limits the overtones. Ours is a traditional Bach-style blank, which seems to be a perfect fit. This is a West Coast-style mouthpiece with a wide rim diameter and shallow cup. The throat and backbore are engineered to get plenty of zip, but the blank keeps it from getting too thin.
