Designed with professionals in mind





Professional symphonic and orchestra players require a tone that’s entirely separate from jazz and big band players. Yamaha GP Series trumpet mouthpieces feature specialized design elements that give players the feel, response, and tone needed to fit in with the world’s most famous orchestras. Most noticeable is the redesigned outer profile. The extra external mass works to darken and focus the tone into a formidable sonic weapon. Next, each GP Series mouthpiece has an extra-heavy gold-plated cup and rim. Gold plating does not meaningfully impact the sound. Instead, a gold-plated mouthpiece provides a smoother feel that some players prefer over silver. Players who prefer a more concentrated sound will love Yamaha GP Series trumpet mouthpieces.

And there's no other product category that exemplifies the Yamaha difference than their mouthpieces. Yamaha mouthpieces feature thoughtful engineering that takes old-school sensibilities to the next level. And, each one is subjected to the strictest quality control measures before being released from their workshop. Yet, to be deemed truly excellent by Yamaha, these masterfully crafted pieces of art must light a fire of joy and passion in the player's heart. Whichever Yamaha mouthpiece you choose, you can expect it to live up to those lofty expectations.
