"Fornero 10" 
Trumpet Mouthpiece

Introducing  the New GR "Fornero 10" Mouthpiece!

"Based off the original 'Fornero' design, GR masterfully created this to be the most efficient mouthpiece for lead trumpet playing.  It is a fantastic addition to my series and I'm now using this mouthpiece as my go-to for lead."

"Fornero MX" 
Trumpet Mouthpiece  #2281 
*3 Currently in Stock*
"The Fornero MX is the mouthpiece I use most for classical playing.  Its depth of sound and ease of blend are a great help when playing in orchestras or when the music requires a sound with less edge."
  • A great match on Dan's C trumpet
  • Cup Volume = .0822"
  • #3 Backbore​

"Fornero" 
Trumpet Mouthpiece #2277
*2 Currently in Stock*
"The Fornero is a beautifully designed all purpose mouthpiece that I use in all situations from orchestral playing to Big Band lead trumpet. This is the original mouthpiece made following two days of hands-on design consultation with Gary Radtke."
  • Matched Dan's Yamaha Bb trumpet perfectly
  • Cup volume = .0771"
  • #1 Backbore​

"d4nero" 
Trumpet Mouthpiece #2294

*2 Currently in Stock*
"Based off the original Fornero design, the d4nero works great on the more commercial side of playing.  I use the d4nero for more punch and a bit more ease in the upper register."
  • Added compression over the Fornero
  • Cup Volume = .0763"
  • #1 Backbore

​"d4nero*" 
Trumpet Mouthpiece #2334

"The d4nero* is my go-to mouthpiece for big band lead trumpet playing.  It offers me great control & accuracy, plus fantastic response with a the huge sound that we're accustomed to with GR Mouthpieces."
  • Added compression over the d4nero
  • Cup Volume = .075
  • #1 Backbore​

"d4nero**"  
Trumpet Mouthpiece #2423
*2 Currently in Stock *
"I occasionally use the d4nero** for extreme upper register, but I prefer the d4nero* for lead playing."  GR says, "While offering an easy extreme upper register, it maintains great flexibility and a strong sound.  This cup offers ample chop room with compression and the design allows you to play lead with precision and style.  You don't need to force it or over blow it to take a head clean off. Our apologies to sax players…" 
  • The smallest mouthpiece in the Fornero series
  • Volume = .0746" with a lot of reflection
  • #1 Backbore

The GR "3 FD"
Trumpet/Flugel Hybrid Mouthpiece

*1 Currently in Stock*
"While not a custom design in my series, the 3 FD is a mouthpiece that I utilize often.  It's the perfect choice when the music requires a deep change in sound.  I use it for soft lyrical playing, low soft sustained notes and for traditional jazz soloing. Aptly nicknamed "the career-saver" by Wayne Bergeron, the GR 3 FD is an absolute must in my arsenal."
