  • This has a super tone! It is possible to mould, change and adapt the sound on this mouthpiece. In the upper register, when really pushing the air through it, the mouthpiece creates an exciting sizzle without becoming edgy or harsh, which is excellent. This mouthpiece would be suited to principal trumpet players who prefer a brighter sound quality, helping them soar atop an orchestra with little effort. Slightly resistant which helps with stamina in the upper register especially. The notes are very ‘slotted’, as is the intonation. The 2 plays comfortably in all dynamic ranges and is very responsive in flexibility and tonguing. The high quality of the polishing and plating literally shine out in this mouthpiece, which is perfect for a soloistic principal trumpet or a solo performer.

About Alliance Brass

Alliance Brass Ltd was initially developed with the idea of creating a range of mouthpieces for Besson brass instruments. The mouthpieces immediately became popular and the range has since expanded to include Signature Lines by some of the most famous brass players from the world’s leading brass bands. The Alliance range of world-beating designs can be heard in many of the finest brass bands and orchestras.

Alliance Mouthpieces were introduced to the market in 2006 by Dr Roger Webster, who was Solo Cornet of the famous Grimethorpe Colliery Band at the time, using advice from some of the leading brass players in the world, including James Gourlay, Steven Mead, Jamie Prophet, Richard Brown and Lesley Howie.

The mouthpieces are renowned for their superb finish and consistency of manufacture. They have a warmth of sound, brilliance and an ability to project, making them ideal for twenty-first century bands and orchestras.

David Childs, the world’s leading euphonium player and Professor of Euphonium at the University of North Texas, said of his Signature Line: “Alliance excelled itself in producing this high quality, precision engineered, versatile range of mouthpieces. With their attractive aesthetic and extra weight, the Alliance DC range offers me everything I want from a mouthpiece: great response, stability in the extreme registers, absolute comfort and the opportunity to create a quality sound.”

Alliance Brass Ltd is proud to be a British-made product and has been recognised by Made in Britain for its successful contribution to Britain’s manufacturing community.

  1. John P. (verified owner)

    Works really well with my first trial of the mpc, and also easier to go from cornet to trumpet with this mpc. I will need more time to test this mpc but happy with the first go.
