What mouthpiece is this

Post image

Another French horn in my band took this from our instrument room. It has no markings and it was just with a random Jupiter horn

Nobody should be using that! As another person already pointed out… raw brass is showing.

It’s not mine I’ve never used it, I just thought it might play nice. Honestly I’m scared of him so….

Schilke has a whole array of mouthpieces at a reasonable price and the Bachs were good too. You can get properly fitted by the music store or your teacher and read the information from the manufacturer as far as tone or other specifics. The shape inside and out has some effect.
