Every Helix Mouthpiece

Feels and sounds like metal

POM (also known as acetal) is 37% denser and 38% more rigid than ABS, and 18% denser and 22% more rigid than polycarbonate (Lexan®). It is strong and durable enough to replace metal in engineering applications such as food processing.

Comfortable in any weather

Plastic will not feel hot or cold like a metal mouthpiece, making it ideal for playing outdoors. It is easier on your chops than brass, so you can play longer.

A rim that feels like gold

The surface finish on the rim is designed to mimic the feel of gold-plated brass, giving just the right amount of friction. Unfinished moulded mouthpieces can feel slippery or sticky, affecting your accuracy.

Hypoallergenic and food safe

Made from POM that meets international standards for contact with food and drinking water. Free from lead, BPA and phthalates, and it will not irritate your lips like some metals.

Modelled on hundreds of 3D scans

Each interior profile is modelled on precise 3D scans of hundreds of standard mouthpieces. You can explore the scans in the mouthpiece builder.

Precisely machined in Canada

Every mouthpiece is turned to high tolerances on a precision CNC lathe.
