John Packer has an unrivalled reputation for excellent service and knowledge and we are very excited by this development."

K&G have developed a range of baritone, euphonium and trombone mouthpieces.

With a design based on years of knowledge and experience, together with applied engineering principles ranging from fluid mechanics to acoustics, the K&G range offers unique benefits in terms of intonation, slotting of notes, musical range, articulation, sound projection, vibration and ease of playing through its efficient design.

The mouthpieces aim to give the musician an outstanding experience.
