We produce your individually fitted mouthpiece!

MyPiece creates a new generation of mouthpieces for brass instruments using modern 3D technology. Using a 3D scan of your face, we create a mouthpiece that fits perfectly to your mouth, and evenly distributes lip pressure onto the rim of the mouthpiece. This improves control over the sound, produces a more open sound, allows to achieve higher registers, and enhances flexibility and stamina when playing.

Our invention was patented in 2021.

Production started in February 2024.

If you are interested, please register for our newsletter. We will let you know as soon as the development phase is complete and you can order our products.

«When I tested a prototype of MyPiece Mouthpieces, I was able to increase my range upwards and at the same time I became much freer when playing because the pressure on the lips was gone. The tones are more responsive, even within big jumps.»
Andreas Ammann, trombone
«The MyPiece Professional mouthpiece opens completely new musical possibilities for me. I will never play another mouthpiece again!»
Pascal Vogel, euphonium

New 3D technologies now make it possible for us
to fit the mouthpieces to the teeth position.
A revolution in mouthpiece manufacturing!

MyPiece basic

You will receive a set of synthetic resin mouthpieces with different standard shapes. After testing these shapes, you can order your preferred mouthpiece from us.

Try it!

MyPiece professional

Using a 3D lip scan, we capture prominences and depressions of the area around the mouth and individually adjust the rim of your mouthpiece. We then manufacture a couple of resin prototypes for you, and if you are satisfied, we will produce your personal mouthpiece in brass.

Test it!

Instead of adjusting to your mouthpiece, your MyPiece professional mouthpiece is adjusted to you. This allows you to unleash your full musical potential.

Your current mouthpiece can be used as a basis for your individual one. Due to the individual production method, we can adopt the mouthpiece’s shape, bore and edge width, and transfer it to your MyPiece mouthpiece. Of course, your name will be engraved on your unique MyPiece mouthpiece.

Production

We produce our prototypes using a professional 3D printer with a certified, biocompatible synthetic resin, which is also used in dentistry and prosthetics.

Our production partner produces the brass mouthpieces with his turning and milling center.

Our Story

For centuries, mouthpieces have been manufactured as flat-rimmed bodies of revolution. However, this flat rim is only due to the production method and does not fit every mouth. David Lochmatter also had to realize this during his music studies at the Music Academy in Lucerne.

Mundstücke

After his studies, David Lochmatter first experimented with rudimentary tools such as pocketknives and hand grinders on his mouthpieces. Gradually, the desire for a mouthpiece that was perfectly adapted to the shape of the mouth grew.

Scan Scan with mouthpiece

A 3D scan was needed to measure the shape of the mouth. David's brother Thomas Lochmatter (engineer/PhD in robotics) took over the processing of the scan data. Thomas developed a program that allows for designing custom mouthpieces, and adapting the rim to the scan data.

Mouthpiece editor

After purchasing a simple FDM 3D printer and months of tinkering, David Lochmatter found his ideal mouthpiece rim shape, which opened new musical possibilities that previously seemed unattainable.

The young family company with David, Thomas and Manuela Lochmatter invested a lot of time, work and passion in this project and in the planning and production of an ergonomically perfectly adapted mouthpiece. We received the patent for this innovation in 2021. From this innovation grew the heart's desire to be able to share the product with others so that other musicians can also benefit from an ergonomically adapted mouthpiece.
