THE LIP CAM
See what is happening inside a trumpet mouthpiece while you play.
The Lip Cam is a playable trumpet mouthpiece with a camera looking across the cup. It streams live video to compatible phones, tablets, computers, and televisions, letting players and teachers compare what the lips are doing when a note works with what changes when it does not.
WHAT YOU CAN OBSERVE
• Lip position and aperture movement
• Changes during slurs, articulation, note starts, and note endings
• How setup changes across registers and dynamics
• Differences between comfortable playing and difficult passages
The Lip Cam is a visual feedback tool, not a diagnostic device, and there is no single correct aperture shape. Its value is making it easier to observe and compare something that is normally hidden.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
• Your selected trumpet model: TLC One or TLC Three
• Built-in camera for live viewing
• Magnetic hard case for compact storage
COMPATIBILITY
Works with most modern smartphones, tablets, computers, and televisions that support the camera connection. Trumpet models are available now. Trombone, tuba, euphonium, and horn versions are in development.

Will it instantly improve my playing?
No. The Lip Cam provides visual feedback that can support practice and teaching; it does not replace instruction or guarantee a result.
Sales of the TLC Scream are paused while future improvements are evaluated.
