Driven by a deep passion to enhance response, articulation, and overall playing ease, Ivan Giddings channeled his extensive understanding of brass performance into innovating mouthpiece design. Starting with just an idea to create better mouthpieces, his relentless drive led to the development of truly unique designs that prioritize superior playability and sound.
Ivan Giddings and his business partner met in November 2000, each with their first prototype stainless steel mouthpieces. They were impressed with what the other could do, and the Giddings & Webster collaboration began. After three years of discussion, prototypes, and research and development the two had created a truly unique line of mouthpieces unlike anything in the world. These mouthpieces sounded, responded, and played better than anything on the market.
Today, while the company has grown - Ivan is constantly improving the design and manufacturing of stainless steel and titanium mouthpieces. Diligence towards constantly striving to create perfection in their mouthpieces means that GW mouthpieces will meet the needs of players everywhere in any playing situation.
Driven by a passion to enhance response, articulation, and overall playing ease, with a deep understanding of brass performance naturally led Ivan Giddings to innovate in mouthpiece design. More than two decades ago, what began as a personal quest to create better mouthpieces evolved into Giddings Mouthpieces—now recognized worldwide as a leader in premium stainless steel and titanium designs.
