V-Max

Size Guide

$ 182.00

The V-Max is our newest bass bone mouthpiece.  With a comfortable inner rim diameter of 1.120 inches (28.448 mm) and a throat of .321 (8.15 mm).  The medium cup projects core, combined with the larger throat providing a nice edge when needed.  Designed for ease of playability and improved endurance along with an exciting balance of impact and shimmering overtones.  A great mouthpiece for Big band and bass bone players looking to add some zip.
