Käyrätorven suukappale, Sommerville

This mouthpiece incorporates Sommerville's vast, and varied, experience, and is equally suited for solos, chamber music, and plyaing principal horn in a large symphony orchestra. The inner rim size is fairly narrow, for enhanced flexibility in every range, while the semi-flat rim contour gives tonal clarity. The V shaped cup adds security to the high range while the open throat size allows rich full-bodied tone in any dynamic. The size and shape of the backbore creates a well-balanced amount of resistance enabling the player to create a wealth of rich tonal colors.
