Converting a Trumpet Mouthpiece For Reeves Sleeves

Watch as Brett cuts a trumpet mouthpiece for our Reeves Sleeve system, which allows the player to adjust the gap between the end of the mouthpiece and the start of the venturi of the leadpipe. This is a critical adjustment that players can use to fine-tune their trumpet and mouthpiece setup to optimize intonation, response, slotting, and projection.

Does this matter for a beginner or come back player?

Hi Paul, Thanks for your question. A gap adjustment can be helpful for intermediate and advance players. Once a player can create a good sound and articulation on a consistent basis, they are good enough to feel the difference in a change in the gap. It only takes a few minutes to try out paper trick (bobreeves.com/papertrick) and if you notice a difference when doing it then changing the gap will matter.

With the reciever , you create a double gap? No?

I picked up a few Bob Reeves Purviance mouthpieces. 9A, 9F, and 9 How can I tell if they are orginal and not made later. I also have a Jermone callet V.F DT 7 if you have any info about that one I would appreciate it. Thanks

DT 7? Are you sure it’s not a DT 10? That was made for Dave Trigg back in the day. It was the model I played many years ago. I still have one today.
