The personal sound ideas and wishes of a professional musician like Michael Müller can only be fulfilled with the utmost technical precision. That’s why Klier in Middle Franconia, Diespeck, uses computer-controlled CNC lathes to manufacture their JK mouthpieces. Only this production method allows the necessary series accuracy with tolerances in the micrometer range (thousandths of a millimeter) thanks to its high positioning precision.

Unique in the Mouthpiece Sector

The consistent embouchure and cup diameter of each series, along with the exact and differentiated gradation, enable the musician to achieve any desired style without having to adjust their embouchure. A mouthpiece series with such precise and optimal craftsmanship cannot be found in any other mouthpiece offering.

The Conclusion of Professional Musician Michael Müller

"The different sound concepts of tenor horn and euphonium, as well as switching between the instruments, have occupied me for a long time. To address the nuances of this topic, I got in touch with JK. Thanks to their experience in mouthpiece manufacturing and the versatile possibilities of the custom shop, we were able to develop my own JK models that convince me in every respect...

For the euphonium, choosing the right cup is essential. For me, the slightly modified cup of my Klier 6AL greatly facilitates playing the euphonium. The reinforced outer shape provides a full, warm, and dark tone that convinces me 100 percent. My mouthpieces 9D-B and EU 6AL complement each other very well and allow me to switch effortlessly between tenor horn and euphonium.
