Alpine Gäbris (.750 Series) - French Horn Two-Piece Mouthpiece Underpart

WARNING

STOP! Please do not order here. This website is only for our rental instruments. To purchase Houghton Horns products, please shop on houghtonhorns.com. We do not monitor this online store, your order will not be shipped out in a timely fashion, and it will not calculate your order total correctly.

These are Alpine's original cups, designed to accept standard rims with a .750- 36 pitch thread. These are sometimes called Giardinelli style threads.

All of their mouthpieces have a true Morse #0 taper with a .295 inch tip diameter. They are lead-free brass, and not plated.

To help players get a sense of the size of the cups, we’ve included the cup volume for each mouthpiece in cubic centimeters. Larger doesn’t necessarily mean deeper; it is a balance between the depth of the cup and the various geometries that lead into the transition between the cup and the bore. We hope that players can use this information to understand how our catalog works without getting hung up on the numbers.
