Your cart is empty. Comfort and endurance without sacrificing sound. Plastic is easier on your chops than brass, and it will not irritate your lips like some metals. It will not get hot or cold like a metal mouthpiece, making it the best choice for playing outdoors or for musicians with allergies to metals.
POM (also known as acetal) is 37% denser and 38% more rigid than ABS. It is 18% denser and 22% more rigid than polycarbonate (Lexan). Because of its strength and durability POM is frequently used to replace metal in engineering applications such as in food processing.
The surface finish applied to the rim of a Helix mouthpiece is designed to mimic the feel of gold plated brass, giving just the right amount of friction. Unfinished molded mouthpieces can feel unpleasantly slippery or sticky, affecting your accuracy.
Helix mouthpieces are made in Canada from food safe POM that has passed international standards certifying it safe for contact with food and drinking water. They are hypoallergenic, and free from lead, BPA, and phthalates.
Helix mouthpieces are precisely machined to high tolerances. The interior profile is modeled on 3D scans taken from hundreds of different standard mouthpieces using state of the art technology.
Many types of polycarbonate are known to contain BPA, a harmful endocrine disrupting chemical. Brass alloys that are commonly used for machined parts such as mouthpieces often have traces of lead added to improve their machinability. The thin layer of nickel alloy, silver, or gold plating applied to most standard mouthpieces protects the musician from the raw brass underneath, but over time with wear or damage this protection is lost especially if the layer of precious metal is thin to begin with.

Got good air. I.e. an empty box

First Impressions. Arrived quickly nice packaging. Fits securely in my trumpet. Finish is very smooth no imperfections I could see or find. This mouthpiece feels great on my chops. Despite the lack of weight, this mouthpiece is very light, it feels just as secure as a regular brass mouthpiece when inserted into the trumpet.First notes spoke easily, and I was surprised to hear a lot of overtones in the sound as my previous experiences with other plastic mouthpieces seemed to lack a certain sparkle. Sound and tuning stayed even throughout the registers and attacks were clean and popped. I don’t think I could tell the difference in sound quality from my regular brass mouthpiece perhaps due to the density of the material. Overall, a nice addition to the trumpet mouthpiece segment especially if one has sensitivity or allergies to brass.If you are looking for an alternative to brass that is BPA free without sacrificing sound, you should give Helix mouthpieces a try. 5 Stars.
