USA Line

When Josef Klier resumed the production of mouthpieces in Birkenfeld in 1948, the news of this production quickly reached the surrounding bands of the US Army.

Up to this time, he had mainly produced mouthpieces for rotary valve instruments, but trumpeters and trombonists of the Army bands preferred another cup shape for their instruments.

They handed over samples of mouthpieces to Roland Klier, which had been produced in Mount Vernon, New York. Accurate in every detail, the copies of these models produced by Roland Klier were greeted enthousiastically by the army musicians.

As these mouthpieces had their origin in the US, Josef Klier thought it logical to unite the new models under the designation JK USA Line.

Notes about the chart below:

  • This chart is for TRUMPET mouthpieces in the USA line.
  • For JK mouthpieces, the “rim” measurement is the OUTER DIAMETER of the cup.
  • To find the thickness of the rim, take the rim measurement, subtract the cup measurement, then divide by half. Example: for the nr 1 mouthpiece, the rim thickness is (27.4mm – 17.0mm) ÷ 2 = 5.2mm.
  • Mouthpieces currently not offered through this store can be special ordered. Please contact us if you wish to do so.
