The personal sound concepts and wishes of a professional musician like Michael Müller can only be fulfilled with the greatest possible technical precision. That’s why Klier in Diespeck, Middle Franconia, 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, as well as the exact and differentiated gradation, allow the musician to achieve any desired style without having to change 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...

The 9D M. Müller, with its heavier outer shape, offers an easy response especially in the high register. This greatly benefits my endurance. Furthermore, I am thrilled by the full and balanced sound from the low to the high register. With this mouthpiece, I feel perfectly at home with the Egerländer Musikanten, Alpenblech, and at BrassTrail workshops."
